Which distros are energy efficient? I have a capable desktop, and I mean to push it, but I don’t want to be using energy if it’s not necessary. I’m not looking to rescue an old laptop, for example.
I hear CachyOS is fast. Does that translate to energy efficient?
(Does the OS even matter that much for efficiency?)
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)
Do correct me if I’m wrong here, but aren’t those embedded libc only excel in taking less space? I wouldn’t be so sure if they’d be less resource intensive. If any, it may be more, due to the CPU vs memory trade-off.
