it's very slow and resource consuming
slim··on Damn Small Linux
I got this insight from a previous thread : you can run linux with gui on the same specs as win 95 fine if your display resolution is 640x480. The framebuffer size is the issue
slim··on Tiny Core Linux: a 23 MB Linux distro with graphical desktop
Tiny Core also runs from ramdisk, uses a packaging systems based on tarballs mounted in a fusefs and can be installed on a dos formatted usb key. It also has a subdistro named dCore[1] which uses debian packages (which it unpacks and mounts in the fusefs) so you get access to the ~70K packages of debian.

It's documentation is a free book : http://www.tinycorelinux.net/book.html

Tunisian dialect must have split of at the same time, because it's as far from arabic as maltese is. most arabs don't understand our dialect (fortunately we also speak standard arabic which we learn at school). I read some research saying maltese/tunisian is a separate language called lingua franca
slim··on Investing in America 2025
Oh, I know this! Coming from a third world country, this kind of communication from major companies looks familiar. It happens because uncertainty about rule of law, so the company needs to show public alliegeance to the ruler to obtain protection (and favors eventually). We call this boot licking.

From experience, this is a symptom of them wanting to censor a specific piece of content which is on all those platforms. Look for it, you may discover something interesting.

I live in Tunisia, which had one of the most censored internet in the world before 2011.
