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?)


Raspberry Pi with whichever distro would be extremely energy efficient.
Yes, but the user doesn’t want it. To quote them:
Also, Raspberry are greedy bastards, shit’s overpriced. May as well use another SBC for a much smaller price. Or one of the Chromebooks that would otherwise be e-waste.
