Yeah, I saw it too but since the reddit blackout was just curious how much went to lemmy instead

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.

Also, I might be wrong so do some research

I personally use it as a desktop.

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 use kibi as an editor and its based on rust,

i also have terminal client called alacritty which is also based on rust

also rust
