Is a desktop Linux distro based on busybox possible?

Are the GNU utilities required in a desktop Linux distribution? Could one build a busybox-based distribution with a working graphical environment? Do most packages build with busybox?

The push for Linux gaming is a push for spyware on Linux (in the form of anti-cheat)

Anti-cheat is spyware. Any push for games that bring over anti-cheat is a push for spyware to be acceptable on Linux.

Anti-cheat does most or all of the following:

* Runs as root
* Runs even when games are not
* Sends home arbitrary files
* Sends home process lists
* Sends home memory snapshots of arbitrary running process
* Sends home keyboard and mouse logs
* Sends home full desktop screenshots

Somehow anti-cheat has flown under the radar as harmful spyware. It has never been seen as spyware by the courts, skirts GDPR protections, and developers have convinced users that this spyware is harmless.

OTPClient v1.5.0 is out

Some days ago I've released version 1.5.0 of OTPClient: https://github.com/paolostivanin/OTPClient/releases/tag/v1.5.0

The changelog is:
- add shortcut to quit the application
- use native dialog for open and save actions
- show error dialog if db is missing
- rename "label" to "account name" in order to respect label = accountname / issuer (":" / "%3A") *"%20" accountname (fix #136)
- respect XDG_CONFIG_HOME
- correctly handle empty label and/or issuer when editing a row

Packages for opensuse are already up to date (see the project's wiki for info).
With flatpak I saw there's a build issue which I cannot reproduce on 2 different PCs, so I'll have to ping someone from the flatpak team to help me with this.
I guess in the next few days also packages for Ubuntu and Arch will be updated by the respective maintainers :) (thank you!!)

This week I'm also working on v2.0, let's see how far I'll go ;-)

As always, if you have issues, questions, feedback please open an issue on GitHub (or ping me here if you don't have a GitHub account)

With the increased ram (upto 4GB) on raspberry Pi 4 can we load the complete os into ram on bootup and run it off ram?

With the faster ddr4 ram, wouldn't it be faster to run it off ram and and do periodic writes to sdcard? Are there any oses out there that already support it?

Is it Linux or android ? Quectel EC21 / EC25

The 4g modem EC21 / EC25 / EG25 (they are almost the same thing) are supposed to be linux based modems. I need your help to make sure that. Also the guys of osmocom [says](https://osmocom.org/projects/quectel-modems/wiki/EC25) its linux. The EG25-W is also the modem that will be used in the upcoming pine phone.

(**please** don't block this post I know this should be in /r/linuxquestions but i need more people....)

(please dont write here "android is linux")

The first point is the kernel. Is it linux or android kernel ?

I must say that at first there are 7902839 clues that suggest that it android but... I just want to be sure.

I'm testing a EC21. Here is some info:
