I didn’t really understand, but I did heard that standard musl is lightweight but the performance is much worse than glibc. But chimera Linux changed the allocator to mimalloc that is bit less light then the standard allocator for musl but still much lighter than glibc. Also it’s performance is very close to glibc and can even beat it sometimes

You can .onion for 100% free, but it’ll be really slow and only people with the right browser would be able to visit your site

Try chimera Linux, it is very efficient, it doesn’t have any bloat, it is a musl libc distro ( like alpine but they modified the musl to have better performance (they’re saying it can complete or surpass glibc), it isn’t gnu/Linux, they changed the gnu userland to freeBSD userland with the Linux kernel and it is much lighter, they also use dinit instead of systemd and the boot times are very fast. Also the package manager is apk and it is very lightweight and efficient (and very fast)

I recommend you to try a window manager, maybe niri, but with something like dank material shell or noctalia, it is very light and can look very fancy

I ran through lmstudio because it really eazy, I ran some kind of qwen 3.6 27b imatrix neo code DI, it is the best local model for coding I tried, I think it can be better than some cloud model

Thank you 🙏

How does this compare to now?

Yeah, I think it is based on Gnome, although gnome also have gnome mobile
