hello,
After a long time Windows user and several linux distro's I think im ready to come back to Porteus.
Now I have 2 questions
1) Can Porteus work on Docker or on WSL2 ?
2) if 1) is yes, Can I help somewhere with packaging or testing things ?
Regards,
Roelof

"Can I help" or "Can I get help"?
How do you boot your other distros on your systems? I boot Porteus ISOs on Windows using grub2, if that helps. Is your Porteus on a USB drive or your harddrive?

I think I will install Porteus on a big USB stick

Unless you plan on downloading a bunch of stuff the USB stick doesn't need to be that big. My 32 GB USB stick has only 5 GB used.
Be sure to read the USB_INSTALLATION.txt file in the ISO you download.

I do not think so,
Im have downloaded the cinnamon one and maybe im going to try the KDE one.
And with downloading it also depends on which packages i can work on
but maybe first better to get again familair with everything.

Well Porteus is based on Slackware so packages need to be based on Slackware also. Read this thread Need audacity 3.4.2 and its dependences for how a package process was worked thru.
There are many other package threads you can review in this section of the forum: x86_64 xzm module requests.
