I use Debian flavors for my daily drivers. I have no complaints, no real desire to switch it up on that front.
However, I am starting to get into self-hosting and homelab projects. I’d like to start test driving some light-weight distros of a different flavor.
I’d prefer a GUI be available, but the environment and WM is pretty inconsequential-- except it shouldn’t be bloated. I’ll install any additional apps I want, I don’t need a curated mid-to-heavy-weight distro.
The plan is to make heavy use of Docker images, to try to maintain a clean and modular setup of services. If that makes any difference.
Suggestions? Any slim distros you’re just gaga for?
same thing with debian
edit: actually no, because every config from app is created from zero, so meanwhile debian the same config stay on your machine until you reinstall fedora atomic you can compare your configuration for what you changed in your /etc
Have you ever upgraded debian? If both local config and default config have changed, it suggests you review the changes and choose which config to use or merge it manually.
