antiX prepare to be dethroned! This is possibly one of the most lightweight but user-friendly distros I've tested. Uses < 300 MB memory but supports flatpaks and also appimages for latest versions of apps. What can be improved: - Automatically save and restart the system at the same resolution set by user. Currently, it's a pain to do this with JWM. - Have an option in the installer or at first boot to set up Flathub out of the box, although this is pretty easy to do. - Start a community where users and potential contributors can gather for collaboration and support. Excited for 26.04 version.
