What would you guys say the most barebone, lightweight distro is? That isnโt out...
Debian 13. relatively minimal. i run it with XFCE. it's super light.
it's old (from 1993), but still heavily maintained. it's what Ubuntu, Kali, Mint, etc. are based on.

Debian is as slim as you can get, without being too slim. The distro prioritizes stability over features, so don't expect the latest and greatest new stuff with it.
