Default settings

RAM - 4GB, storage - 5GB (Used on boosted repl with hacker plan, so change it so its lower if you have normal repl)

Notes:

• If the linux is slow, if your storage is small, its repl.it what you expect, so i recommend using a light linux distro
• If you want to install a system instead of just using iso, you need to have a basic understanding of using QEMU, then use the normal steps of how you would install a system (Note, you would need to keep the file sizes small because its repl.it so dont do something big like a 10GB storage).
• If you do not have hacker plan/boosted repl, you may need to lower the storage from 5GB to >1GB#
• Best way to install the iso, using wget in command line, instead of dragging and dropping into repl.it
• If the iso doesn't download, use a distro with a smaller iso file, (for me the max that worked was an iso that was 800mb)

Some small linux isos/ Ones I have tried:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-weight_Linux_distribution -> sort by image size low-high

• Some Systems I have tried:
• Arch Linux
• Slax linux (very slow tho)
• porteus xfce
• tinycore
• damn small linux
• Slitaz linux
• Lubuntu
• Bodhi linux

So with this you can have a linux/GNU with a GUI if you want, with 24/7 capability either with the hacker plan or a pinger such as uptimerobot

If you get : qemu-system-x86_64: warning: TCG doesn't support requested feature: CPUID.01H:ECX.vmx [bit 5], dont worry about this, it just appears, nothing happens to system. You can also use a windows iso on this, for example windows 95 or XP
