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?

    May i recommend Fedora?

    You can use fedora minimum and customize from there

    Or you can try fedora spin, for bungie/plasma etc
