Ubuntu is too heavy. Try CentOS.

How so? Doesn't CentOS share a lot of the same issues as Ubuntu? Legitimate question.

Thanks, CentOS was on my radar too. I’ll take a closer look!

[Melatonic → tailspin2019]

Isnt CentOS basically discontinued at this point?

[paulryanrogers → Melatonic]

It's changed from a downstream distro to upstream. Rocky Linux has since appeared to take its place in the community, by one of the original CentOS founders.

Urgh. If anything, use Debian.
