Post: RE: Finalizing initial distro design decisions

I'm pretty interested in using Busybox, but I'm open to anything (that's not systemd). Rolling out our own is an interesting concept, but I think we should save that project for another time.

I thought we had agreed on a distro? Tiling WM on Wayland, though - it would make more sense to simply write a shell for Weston. Why not have a tiling Weston shell on our UnixHub distro?

I'm leaning towards a whole distro, as well. I feel it could really spread knowledge and experience among the forum, and attract new members looking to work on a large project of the sorts.
