Asked By GadgetGuru123 On

I'm trying to install Linux on my Garmin Nuvi 55, which has 4GB of eMMC storage and only 64MB of RAM. I believe the CPU is ARM-based, but I'm having trouble finding a suitable Linux distro that can run on such limited specs. Any recommendations?

You might want to check out Tiny Core Linux! It's designed for lightweight devices and should fit your needs. Just make sure it supports your specific ARM architecture, as compatibility can vary across different platforms.

Honestly, bistro software typically doesn't require a lot of power, but it sounds like you're exploring something cool! Just make sure you pick a lightweight distro that suits your device's parameters.

Tiny Core is great, but if you're feeling adventurous, a minimal Musl Void Linux install could also work well. Just keep in mind that support for ARM and touchscreen capabilities is key.
