Lightweight Linux Distro?

[ekske1]

Been playing around with Bodhi, but I suppose I could also checkout puppy, lxle or just go diy arch light setup. Just something super light I can run to literally just browse and download.

Manjaro. They have a focus on simplicity.

Its a really good Arch based desktop OS.

EDIT. If you want a super light thumbdrive distro. Slax is ok.

Tiny Core. the lightest of the light, from what I can recall.

If you want something actually usable, you'll need something a bit more heavyweight than puppy

MX Linux is the new ubuntu. I can highly recommend it

I generally use Q4OS and Bodhi for low end systems.

I tried Puppy but it was meh compared to Bohdi. For now I'm keeping Bohdi while exploring the other options - thanks for the suggestions.

Its literally just a downloading mule (vm going pi soon), so light to super light is good enough.

Sure, but I need the PI first. So for now its just a small vm

Lubuntu but if you running a normal machine (alright specs) just load a modern distro and enjoy life.

Why not just use Raspian?

Readup? As I've already said, in the reply you have quoted... I need the PI first.
