Can Liquorix be made operational on unsupported Linux distributions?

[Ricky-Tigg]

Hello. As this project leads to the sole creation of a binary file in DEB format, the temptation for a user to experiment with the aim of getting this Liquorix kernel operational in a Linux distribution whose packaging format is not supported by this project, is pertinent. Experiment with Alien, a tool which operates conversions of an installer as binary file of a Linux distribution packaging system format into an other one of a Linux distribution, reveals under conditions relevant while no other viable method – build from source, universal software package open source format, abusively presented as being universal, since as practices demonstrate it, neither AppImage, nor Snap and Flatpak reveal so to be. – is at user's disposal to achieve this goal. Yet Alien, despite being an highly valuable project, must have limitations that makes it experimental and issues. Needless to say that experimenting on a virtual machine is a relevant precaution – Qemu-KVM would do.

It can reasonably be assumed that

• Liquorix must be composed of important system packages that are essential for the functioning of the system.
• Packages might be set up differently by Debian and a non-DEB Linux distribution, and it is known that packages from different Linux distributions cannot be used interchangeably.

Supposing that such a conversion is not only successful but also revealing itself operational, the resulting binary file would not for reason be eligible for support from this project. Then this attempt would not be worth the effort. Despite is seems desperate, I have reason to believe that there might be a developer of this project, able to bring instruction to achieve this goal.

PS: I am myself willing to get Liquorix operational on Linux distributions whose packaging format is RPM, among others.

I think the right way to go is to make a package in Fedora COPR: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/. If you search for "lqx", there's a few packages and forks out there, but no one appears to be seriously maintaining Liquorix there anymore.
