Hi everyone,
I consider myself new to Linux but have used it actively as my main OS for a while. Only reason i went back to win10 is my work software that will only work with windows. However I am training myself to become a programmer and have a few friends. But as you all know we cannot always get together.
So i want to create ISO i can use with a VM. It must not boot into the operating system GUI. It must only open IntelliJ and start team viewer as a service. This will allow my friends and i to figure some code out on the fly without getting any expensive services going. the idea is to host the VM booting from the ISO but not install anything. This way we can have a clean start every time and just copy paste the working code to a doc if needed.
Not loading the GUI for the operating system might save some ram i hope.
So here is the idea
ISO loads
> critical services >
> teamviewer starts as a service "i think it is possible to start it with a set password and run as a service"
> IntelliJ starts giving us a work environment. I will have direct KVM to the VM but my friends "just two of them" can then get KVM via teamviewer as far as i understand this can work not sure.
any ideas to make this work will be nice i never configured my own ISO before.
i am thinking to use Linux puppy or Mint as they are not resource heavy. Since it is a VM i would like to keep the ram for IntelliJ as it will need it for the runtime.
So any ideas on this would be seriously helpful.
i know this is a stupid idea if you have a better one please share.
Thank you for reading.
