I don’t understand, isn’t what makes it a desktop or a server what you want to do with it? Because it has just enough apps and utilities for me to work with it.
I just picked Alpine Linux for majority of security and efficiency out of the box. It still required a lot of configuration, for lowering attack surface and hardening.
I know you asked for a lightweight distro, but from a security standpoint, I recommend using whatever allows you to relock the bootloader. Which looking up I dont see any choice. If relocking doesnt matter, then any distro for speed is basically any distro that comes with as minimal stuff as possible.
Are people using it also as desktop or server OS? I only know that it is popular for docket images.
That is the exact question I had on my mind when coming to this post.
I personally use it as a desktop.

Yes, it is. I have only never seen it to be used for something else then docker images so far.
Tips and tricks? I want to install on a chromebook I have, only 16gb mmc so a light distro would be great.

Also, I might be wrong so do some research
