@fatboy I tried Artix(OpenRC) for a while. Memory-wise it was feckin amazing. Only problem was that it used too much CPU and Battery. Do you have any idea why that is?I completely forgot about MX Linux! I tried a while back on my sister's laptop and I loved it. I should have had MX Linux in the poll instead of Alpine...

@kqzx @fatboy I mean, it sounds like you have found your answer.The poll is non-binding after all. If it helped you find what you were looking for, then mission accomplished.

@urusan @fatboy Maybe :) I said that I should have put it in the poll because it would have been easier for people to vote for it instead of commenting. I think more people would choose MX Linux over Alpine (At least going by the reviews on Distrowatch)...

@kqzx @urusan CPU and battery usage? I think one has to install/use some kind of power manager, like tlp-openrc?

@kqzx @urusan I have mxlinux on a very old Core2duo. It runs beautifully. Their tools are really nice. All you have to do is trim the fat and install your favourite theme :)

@fatboy @urusan Yeah. I know about tlp (but I got to know about it after I uninstalled Artix and reinstalled Arch :p ), and I use it on my current install, but I never used it before I installed Artix. The CPU usage (without tlp) was higher on Artix(OpenRC) than it was on Arch. I'm guessing using tlp on both inits would also produce similar results?

@kqzx @urusan I think LaptopModeTools could work, if tlp doesn't
