DoomLinux: A bash script to build a minimal Linux just to play Doom on boot

Could there potentially be more applications to this approach in terms of game anticheat measures, where you boot into a unified "tournament image" which is a minimal OS that only runs the game itself for competitive sessions, as an alternative to installing intrusive kernel anticheats?

I think you could even make this into a unified kernel image [1] and boot a single image directly from EFI.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.archlinux.org&#x2F;title&#x2F;Unified_kernel_image" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.archlinux.org&#x2F;title&#x2F;Unified_kernel_image</a>

Good idea. I used to have a similar &quot;boot-to-DOSBox&quot; setup which ran on the framebuffer, it was an easy way to have a little portable gaming USB drive.

We don&#x27;t really need a whole entire OS to run doom.. I want to see a port where Doom IS the OS :P

&gt; Downloads Linux Kernel 5.4.3 source and compiles it with a minimal configuration<p>Haha, good luck booting such a kernel.

Similar concept, but NixOS + SM64: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xeiaso.net&#x2F;blog&#x2F;super-bootable-64-2020-05-06" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xeiaso.net&#x2F;blog&#x2F;super-bootable-64-2020-05-06</a><p>one file, declarative, can generate an image for a physical machine, single-command boot it in Qemu, etc.<p>Well, two files, if you package SM64 yourself. Still.
