So long story short, is there any good lightweight barebones linux distros I can go to now that Lubuntu is fucking dead? Something you can install and it won't take up more then around 4GB of hard disk space and maybe 1 - 2gb of RAM.

it sounds like maybe you should have

you're used to ubuntu so i'd recommend debian
just use debian and install icewm or lxqt
This is why you should use a distro that emphasizes the importance of reviewing updates.

Arch.
>are you sure you know about computers
can you even imagine being at them
Guessing you've never used the AUR other than maybe through some shitty package manager which doesn't respect its distribution model.

Yes, I know what he wrote, but it should've been obvious what he meant.
it was, but it's also obvious he's not prepared for that truth yet, and debian's a better distro anyway so what's the harm
fair points.

Install Gentoo.
Try alpine, best a man can get.
>Something you can install and it won't take up more then around 4GB of hard disk space
opensuse tumbleweed with the "generic desktop" option
you'll get icewm with very barebones system
or just customize and install what you wish whatever

i can tell by your comment that you're really smart and good at programming. probably not obese either.

There was a bit of a rift, one person/team wanted to do things one way, others wanted to be stupid and shove a bunch of crap into the distro.
I know it sounds retarded, it's what ublock origin calls it. The only reason why I don't want to use the .net version anymore, is because the last update was some time ago.
just use ubuntu and install emacs on it.

To clarify, apparentely the .me devs got booty blasted enough by the .net version they unironically begged the ublock origin devs to mae it a "badware" site.
github.com
Despite the fact that there's nothing bad about the .net version, it's just the .me version without a bunch of useless bloat shoved into it (or at least was before they stopped updating their version).
