From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Specs:

Intel i5-9300H 4c 8t @4.10 GHz
GTX 1650 Mobile Max Q
8 gb DDR4

Preferably something barebones and without a desktop environment due to my little available ram. Something built for remote access with moonlight.

I am currently using a minimal fedora setup with standalone KWin (without plasma) and Pegasus launcher but it is kind of holding together with duct tape.

I am open to running debloated windows too, I tried Tiny11 for that purpose but it was painful to use. I gave up while installing the bajillions of drivers.

I might also cook up my own arch install script but that seems like a lot of effort i don't want to go through

I feel like, as you already mentioned, a headless arch install sounds the closest to what you want.

I'm not sure why you need to write your own install script. What's wrong with the normal Arch install script? I've never used it myself, actually.

When I first installed arch, I wrote down each step in the tutorial video I watched into a set of discrete steps. I now have that .odt saved and can pull it up again whenever needed, so reinstalling arch isn't as daunting as it was for me originally, but I still have the flexibility of doing everything manually and understanding why I am doing each step.
