Which distros are energy efficient? I have a capable desktop, and I mean to push it, but I don’t want to be using energy if it’s not necessary. I’m not looking to rescue an old laptop, for example.

I hear CachyOS is fast. Does that translate to energy efficient?

(Does the OS even matter that much for efficiency?)

    Thank you, but have no idea how to use IRC and I prefer not to. I know they have also a matrix chat, but I don’t want another WhatsApp like app on my phone

      You don’t have to know anything, its just a chat. Its like Matrix, without any features. It’s not an app, you can open the chat directly in the browser with the link I provided. Open the link https://webchat.oftc.net/?channels#chimera-linux in your browser, enter your name and for channel enter chimera-linux and just click Connect. Then you get the chat without requiring an account registration, and can ask directly and people will read. There is nothing to learn about this, its just a good old chat.

      Their Matrix channel is judge a bridge to this IRC. And because of the bridge, messages take longer to arrive and coordinate on Matrix. I got all the info from their webpage: https://chimera-linux.org/community/
