Shrinking NixOS RAM footprint to the bare minimum
Original: Shrinking NixOS RAM footprint and resource requirements to the bare minimum
A discussion is under way on how to reduce NixOS memory usage and resource requirements to the lowest possible level, aimed at running the Linux distribution on very small or low-end machines. Participants are sharing configuration tweaks, minimal setups and ways to strip NixOS down so it runs comfortably even with little RAM available.
Why now: Low-end hardware enthusiasts are comparing ways to make NixOS lean enough for minimal servers and devices.
