    Also, how many of you people prefer OpenWrt to stock firmware on your routers?

    Sitting on shibby tomato r7000......

    I prefer LibreCMC, a libre fork of OpenWRT

    That's news to me, haven't checked openwrt in ages, might be interesting to see how this turns out as Broadcom doesn't have opensource drivers as far as I know.

    VOTE FOR YOUR FAVOURITE LINUX DISTRO NOW!

    Lots to choose from

    • Arch
    • Alpine
    • Debian

    Isn't Alpine too basic?

    Basic the key for a perfect OS, you can mode it however you like without any constraints.

    Sounds good. I might have to distro jump every week to find my perfect distro, Ig. :lol:

    do it my way, have an entire disk filled with Linux distros, and boot with anyone you want.

    How big is this disk? I wanna settle with one and use VMs for any others that I might require for specific purposes in the future.

    Lightweight zorinOS lite is based on ubuntu and works fine on older gen systems.

    Edit: will be discontinued soon as their main OS can also do just fine on older gen systems. Also it's based on ubuntu and not debian but technically it's still debian.

    @TrK Void or Puppy, whichever's lighter. Got a good PC, but, want to be able to extract every little juice.

    Ohhh.... So no templeOS? Sed...

    Could throw Alpine Linux on it or NetBSD

    What would you recommend? I am looking for a lightweight distro that can manage almost everything that Windows does on my PC right now, mainly:-
    1. Adobe Premiere Pro → Eden Live or something will work on Linux
    2. Adobe Photoshop → GIMP
    3. OBS Studio
    4. Equalizer APO (haven't found an alternative yet). I use it for noise cancellation.

    The rest have Linux alternatives or are available natively. Considering these, which distro would you recommend?

    Lots of distros could handle your requirements list.

    I guess this is comparatively newer, cause checking it's Table of Hardware, I only see a few currently supported. Might have to port.

    It's not new - it's just tough to remove proprietary blobs from routers and still have them function.

    Well, I didn't mean to be disrespectful. You are right. Alpine is pretty popular. Many projects use it for chroot, if I am not wrong.
