I'm looking for a lightweight distro, but most of them are based on Debian or Ubuntu.
Is there some good option for lightweight enterprise Linux?
It would be cool to enjoy an enterprise Linux desktop experience in an old 4GB of RAM MacBook. Basically my gf will start studying IT in college soon and she'll be doing the classics: - Compiling some basic programs, probably some C#, Java... (is VScode good for low resources?) - Opening some Stack Overflow tabs in the browser (I'm using MS Edge lately, but would Firefox use less RAM?) - Running some DB/web services for SQL practicing - Opening some Excel sheets, Spotify, YouTube...
Lately, I'm using Rocky Linux on my server deployments, but RHEL (free version) and EuroLinux got my eye too for this installation (we are in Europe and it looks kinda cool). I don't know how they would perform with the desktop environment in a low resources laptop because I've only used them on headless deployments. I don't think the CPU would be much of a problem, but I'm concerned about the 4 GB of RAM.
How would you do it?
