A "stupidly minimal" cli package that monitors power usage in real time. Bonus points if it is written in C++, with zero dependencies.

All distros are free -- just choose whatever you find interesting, give it a spin, see what happens.

Pretty much. Why "reinvent the wheel" if it does absolutely nothing that excels what a "normal browser" does?

As someone who switched to wayland way back when sway was dominant...? About time.

Being fun does not make (thing) a necessity let alone useful -- there are a lot of useless things that are fun.

imo, that is like learning a new language you'll never use -- who on earth would search for new employees that can compile their own distro? It's fun at first, but definitely not useful.

Eh, just try new commands in your distro and see what happens -- "time is the best teacher of em all".

No one would want to buy this to use with high-demanding applications, but for hobbies and trivial stuff. With that said, even a Orange pi zero 3 is "better" than both Rpi 5 and the n100.

tl;dr: The magic word is convenience.

"Bloat" implies "excess", "overloaded" -- anything that has been installed and used without my consent or a badly optimized package/command.

afaik, the "main gimmick" of gentoo is to have a distro that is 100% optimized for your PC. That aside, I don't see a point installing it unless your PC is centuries old and really need the extra speed boost.
