[1] There are limitations since some packages have altivec enabled and thus will not function

[2] The installer will likely not be able to decompress the initramfs into RAM with less, an installed system can do with much less given enough swap and an optimized - read: much smaller - initramfs.

[3] amdgpu and radeon drivers may conflict, ensure you blacklist the one your card doesn't need.

[4] Use linux-lts-6.1 since newer kernels lack the legacy framebuffer and DRI drivers for r128
