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?)

    There is no such thing in the way you’re imagining it. You can tune any distro to use as little power as possible, but there’s only so much you can do if the hardware platform you’re running isn’t very efficient.

    What are you currently running?
