If there was a fully functional OS, usable for actual work in the modern world, that only took 600 MiB of disk space, would you try it out? Asking because I have a project idea and want to see just how small I can make an actually practical system using Linux from Scratch.

By actually practical I mean:

* Window manager
* Basic utilities like a text editor, terminal, archive manager, file manager, calculator, image editor, audio player, and password manager
* A functional, Chromium-based web browser
* Chat clients (Matrix, IRC)
* Other bits and bobs you'd expect to find on any good Linux system (Python, Perl, Bash, coreutils, all that stuff)
* QEMU and KVM support for virtual machines

Might sound impossible, but I think with some compression gymnastics and attention to detail it might be doable.

PSA: Voting on polls in Matrix chat **is not anonymous.** When you vote on a poll, your client sends a Matrix event specifying which event you chose. This event it tied to your account. Element by default does not display this info, but if you run `/devtools` and switch on developer mode, you can see the poll response events, who sent them, and what time they were sent. By inspecting the source code of the poll and the poll response events, it's fairly easy to see who voted what, and when. (Element even has a built-in tool for viewing this source code.)

For most polls this probably isn't a problem, but if you need a poll to be anonymous, use something else.

(This isn't meant to be a dig at Matrix or Element, I use Matrix for chat daily and will continue to do so. Just be aware of the limitations of the software you use.)
