Project Elias is a set of scripts to very quickly and easily create a Linux environment on practically anything that can support QEMU.
This can be useful in a number of scenarios where you need a bare-bones Linux system in a quick and efficient way.
This set of scripts came about when I was reading Professor Kauffman's Unix/Linux guide for the CSCI 2021 course here at the University of Minnesota, and realizing my Mac wouldn't be up to the task without something like this because Apple decided GDB wasn't something Mac users needed anymore.
If you do own a Windows computer (i.e have admin access), you probably don't need this because WSL is leaps and bounds better than this, and is something that's actually backed by a large company.
Why the name Elias- I couldn't decide on a name, so I came up with Linux In A Script, and then from there the name Elias came out
