Making Minimal Linux Distro with Buildroot

In this video I will demonstrate how you can use Buildroot to create a simple x64 Linux distro

Dependencies (Ubuntu packages):
apt install g++ make libncurses-dev unzip bc bzip2 libelf-dev libssl-dev extlinux

Dang, my man makes building an entire operating system look easy between this and his last custom Linux episode.

I had no idea this even existed. I started LinuxFromScratch and just lost interest. But this is 10 minutes start to finish.

It has been 0 days since I recompiled the Linux kernel.

It's incredible what can be done nowadays with Linux and the way Linux is designed, keeping its simplicity makes it all much more comfortable when you really understand the concepts

Buildroot is pretty fun, a while ago I used a buildroot-based system as my "game engine"(Linux kernel, Lua "userland" using framebuffer graphics, uinput).
You should have included some mention of the various ways you can include files in the final rootfs, for example overlay directories or custom buildroot packages. Also you don't have to manually create a bootable disk image, buildroot has support for creating needed configs), or you could directly boot a kernel+initramfs in QEMU(no bootloader).

finally, a way to utilize my computer truely bloatless.

You are a perfect programmer!!

I didn't see anybody do video like this, making a lot of video on C, or debugging Windows Kernel.

Please continue your videos!!!

this is one of the first tutorials I've ever seen that gets straight to the point and shows you every single detail you need and nothing that you don't. I wish this guy did tutorials on everything, it would save so much time.

[TurntableTV]

So glad I found this channel. Somehow, youtube algo got it right this time and recommended me something really good.

[Sevenisko]

This is actually pretty interesting.

It all began with Linux from Scratch, now we're just 10 minutes to make a simple distro.

Another fun, easy to follow tutorial on building a minimal distro and yet another project I will be completing in the near future. Thanks and keep up the great work, Nir!

[twobob]

Love me some buildroot. did the arm kindle stuff a decade? back. Top work

[cvi_dev]

Amazing video as always!!
I didn't know before, that you can boot linux without an but it makes sense, that you can, if all drivers to mount the rootfs are in the kernel. Learned something new today😃

[NovabitsYT]

Hi future me, you are proud that you subscribed before 50k subscribers to the best tutorial channel.

[SotchNam]

Thanks for the dependencies install command, the documentation providing them individually is pretty inconvenient.

[pranavbadrinathan]

Oh damnnn I was recently looking to perhaps make my own very lightweight distro for an ARM based SBC. This looks really really simple too! Thank you very much :)

[nichtgestalt]

This is super cool! But how are you going to manage packages? I would love to see this series continued, thank you very much!

[anon_y_mousse]

That was even faster and easier than Rob Landley's video on a minimal Linux, nice!

[Noteclip]

you've inspired me to make a custom iso for my pinephone, good stuff!

[kousheralam]

Love your video, i work as a web dev, but i watch your video for fun.
