Subject: How to Build Custom Distributions from Scratch

[Reply] [ReplyQuoted] [Headers] [Print]

In a world teeming with Linux distributions — from Ubuntu to Arch, Debian to Fedora — the idea of building your own may seem daunting, if not redundant. Yet, for many technologists, enthusiasts, and developers, creating a custom Linux distribution isn't just an exercise in reinvention; it's an act of empowerment. Whether your goal is to tailor a lightweight OS for embedded devices, create a secure workstation, develop an education-focused system, or simply understand Linux more intimately, building your own distribution is one of the most fulfilling journeys in open-source computing.

MagicaVoxel is one of those applications you can use to create voxel-based artwork think of it like pixel art, but in 3D. Creating objects in the app feels a lot like playing Minecraft, where you build structures block by block. Users can also apply effects to their voxel creations, such as smoke, metal, transparency, or a glass-like look.

Going back to last year an AMD engineer has been pursuing "Attack Vecotr Controls" to rethink CPU security mitigation handling.
