ok, it does look like linux but it's still just a CC program that needs to fit a 1MB disk.
as of v1.2.7 the minimal install takes about 250K.

see https://minux.vtchost.com/ for installation instructions and more information or https://minux.vtchost.com/wiki/ for the wiki
download the netinstaller ingame with "wget run https://minux.vtchost.com/apt/netinstall.sh"
