To build minimal linux systems, I've found Minimal Linux Live [^1]
and Floppinux [^2] useful. There was a list of build steps for 486 [^3]
as well, in case you are targeting older machines.
Love it. Did the same journey a few years back making a version of KISS Linux that runs out of an initramfs. Highly recommend that "1-person distro" as a way to build out a daily driver OS, it's very satisfying
Funny enough, the article also serves as a Nix repellent! I’ve read few interesting things about it, but seeing here how hard it makes your life I won’t be touching it with a long stick…

Intresting, will save this for later.

And Rust. It seems they often go together. I don't know why people do that to themselves.
