For working examples, see the :rocket: contrib/ section or these tutorials:

• :hammer_and_wrench: Buildroot embedded Linux,
• :package: Debian GNU/Linux,
• :mountain: Alpine Linux, and
• :milky_way: Void Linux

[!NOTE] Finit can run on various Linux distributions, but the bundled install scripts are examples only. They have been tested on amd64 (x86_64) systems with standard configurations.

For embedded systems, see these Buildroot-based examples: myLinux, Infix, or br2-finit-demo.
