Quite a controversial take, but I think dietpi is a very solid choice, even for x86 PCs.

Download Ubuntu 24.04

Found the Windows poser.

Nah, the average "just werks" user won't leave Windows even if it took money out of its credit card.

The arch iso offers a install guide nowadays (archinstall), so nah not that much.

I too can't wait when biologically-modified dogs, cats and alike beat videogames using their own undeveloped-yet-modified brain for the first time.

That is like asking, "Is breathing worth it?" -- well of course. Then again, folks don't (usually) care due to how most privacy-ruining methods/features are ... mostly (in)offensive and easy to tackle.

...well... that is how I started learning (and getting used to) GNU/Linux, so eh.

Not really -- it has way too many "bells and whistles" to be called as "stupidly minimal". Then again, what I had in mind was something more straightforward with nothing else than "Current power draw: (number goes here)W. Updates every 3 seconds."

brb installing firefox

A "stupidly minimal" cli package that monitors power usage in real time. Bonus points if it is written in C++, with zero dependencies.

All distros are free -- just choose whatever you find interesting, give it a spin, see what happens.

As someone who switched to wayland way back when sway was dominant...? About time.

Being fun does not make (thing) a necessity let alone useful -- there are a lot of useless things that are fun.

imo, that is like learning a new language you'll never use -- who on earth would search for new employees that can compile their own distro? It's fun at first, but definitely not useful.

Eh, just try new commands in your distro and see what happens -- "time is the best teacher of em all".

netflix users be like

afaik, the "main gimmick" of gentoo is to have a distro that is 100% optimized for your PC. That aside, I don't see a point installing it unless your PC is centuries old and really need the extra speed boost.

Eh, did a little "oopsie" there, my bad.

What do we learned today kids? Baseless/empty words = not an opinion. :)

Arch linux. Minimal install, hyprland. $ROOTSYS* set to ro, ~/.cache and ~/Downloads to tmpfs. alsa, bemenu, wine-staging, lutris. Couldn't be happier.
