[split] Possible To Load Snakeoil OS in RAM - wxrbbs - 29-Apr-2025
Suggestion: Is it possible to run programs in memory, or even run the system in memory (such as ramroot)? Currently, after implementing memory-resident operation for mpd, upmpdcli, and diretta, the sound quality has improved significantly. Therefore, have you considered developing in this direction?

Technically it can be done just that it requires some advanced networking configuration (e.g. setting up a TFTP server, and configure your computer to boot from network). Doing so it means you can boot your machine without any HDD/SSD.
I have a blog talking about it here: PxE booting.
