My friend always recommended puppy linux fur such devices, he was very happy with it

I personally think alpine might be a good fit, it is very lightweight. It does not use systemd though and is therefore in many ways different than most distros(for some this is a good thing). I know it from postmarketOS (optimised for phone hardware)

Other than that, you may just take Arch, as it comes pretty minimal and you can choose for every package to use the most lightweight solution

Or you can go even more personalised with gentoo, linuxFroScratch or yocto. Just requires some skill, but skill can always be acquired by learning and doing.

wayland

The mew type of capitalism 🙂 even worse

Maybe it is just too much time since I last played or with proton on wayland, it just takes that bit more power, so that my good ol 980 isn’t handeling it well 🤔

🤩hope I can play cyberpunk in wayland now

Yes, of course 😊 you can install mostly any WindowManager/DesktopManager on mostly any distro but top comment wanted something like mint, not a rolling distro

I guess fedora would fit here wouldn’t it?

(Never used fedora yet 😂, I’m a rolling kind of guy)

This is very smart 😃 never thought about that
