  • Yes you can, it won’t be great though.

    I used to maintain a Linux distribution called “OpenWM8650” (back in 2011 / 2012) which was specially aimed at the WM8650 and WM8505. It would run off the SD card. Which wasn’t great, but the flash onboard support was horrible at best.

    Maybe you can find some old information on it, on XDA because the website for the initial distribution is long gone.


  • Debian Woody > Red Hat 7.0 > Slackware 9.0 > Slackware 10 > Debian > Ubuntu > Mac OS > Ubuntu > Arch.

    At least for desktops and laptops.

    For servers I’m still primarily running Debian (and one instance I’m running Arch).

    The reason why I settled on Arch is primarily because the combination of bleeding edge and being stable enough for daily driving it. The AUR also adds sooo much, that there is nothing I really don’t need to manually install anymore.

    For servers, I basically want a rock stable system. Hence why I’ve chosen Debian Stable.


  • For all the oldies in the room, Lindows / Linspire (me included)

    Trying to merge Wine with Linux into one ““convenient”” package was overselling it at best and worst a lie. Back in '08 / '09 I tried to run it, just to see how good (or bad) it was. It was basically Debian with KDE and their special sauce on top to ““easily”” run Windows binaries. Especially in those day, WINE wasn’t as good as it is today. I think you can fill in the rest ;-)
