Very lightweight, with useful customizations/scripts/tools for server usage, also what I'm using for this server
Systemd-Networkd
It's easier to use than Ifupdown, pretty lightweight and integrates well into the rest of Systemd, though for
desktops I prefer NetworkManager
Fish
Shell with good and simple defaults, too lazy to setup bash or zsh
Podman + podman-compose
Containers without daemon, doesn't really matter for a server, but it's nice to use the same everywhere, also I
think podman has better general code quality
sshguard
Much simpler than Fail2Ban, but I'll try to move away from passwords anyway soon
xdg-ninja
Good for decluttering the home directory
Flatpak
I use Fedora Kinoite for my personal computer, and Flatpak makes it even possible at all, also allows easy
sandboxing
Distrobox
Combines well with Flatpak, I actually have my terminal configured to open directly into a Distrobox container, and
then use host-spawn to reach the host system
