I’m refurbishing an old PC to work as a home server for several stuff. I’m looking for a lightweight distribution to install in it, but with a decent package repository. A small image size will be appreciated, as I have slow bandwidth too.

    NixOS. Not going to switch away from NixOS for servers probably ever even if I decide to distro-hop on my desktop in the future. It’s essentially what “traditional server distro + docker + ansible” can only dream of being. If you don’t mind learning a very different system, that is. Also the size of its package repository is only rivaled by AUR ;)
