Blas Roca Calederio, born on July 22 in 1908, was a Cuban communist revolutionary and radical journalist. Roca helped lead the 1933 general strike that ousted Gerardo Machado, and served in Fidel Castro's revolutionary government.
Born into a poor family, Roca began working at age eleven, shining shoes. According to Castro, Roca was already a prominent communist organizer in the province of Oriente at 21 years old.
At age 25, Roca helped lead a two week general strike that ousted dictator Gerardo Machado. By 1936, he was head of the Cuban Communist Party and began serving as a politican, helping author the 1940 Cuban Constitution.
Under Roca's leadership, Cuban communists were instrumental in providing an organizational and ideological structure for Castro's revolution, as well as playing a pivotal role using the party's long-standing ties with the Soviet Union to promote increasingly closer ties during the early days of the revolution.
In 1961, Blas Roca, leading a party delegation, presented a Cuban flag to Nikita Khrushchev during a meeting of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Roca served on the first central committee and politburo of the new Communist Party of Cuba, founded in 1965.

I don't necessarily want bleeding edge, I just wanted something that uses less ram than Endeavour and is less stupid than Manjaro? I like Arch way more than Debian tho.
Still your comment is a useful starter guide, ty.

If you really want to create a lean operating system you're going to have to venture into a distro like NixOS where you can control the OS stack from top to bottom (excl. Linux, GNU coreutils libc and systemd). But worrying about RAM usage on Linux is more headache than it's worth. We'll always be better than windoze's spyware that eats up 4G of RAM on idle and in the future the performance will improve with improvements to Wayland and app toolkits.
If you want an idiotproof operating system you should go with Fedora Atomic Desktop which uses transactional updates (OS 1 -> OS 2) rather than updating each system package individually, drastically reducing the vector for potential breakage due to a corrupted packages and eliminating the user responsibility of maintaining their own packages on their system.
Arch is for people who want the latest software who are enthusiasts of GNU/Linux itself. They are literally Linux nerds who find enjoyment in the act of learning and playing with Linux and pushing it to its limits.
What I really want to say but I love yapping to not say it is that you shouldn't worry too much. Stick with up to date software no older than 6 months (sorry debian) and your systems should be whistling fine.
You fucking presumptuous motherfuck :> (/joke)
Look right even Manjaro doesn't eat more than a gig idle, the point is more I deploy my OS to several aging, creaky systems capped at 2GB RAM and Endeavour requires 2.5GB. I can install it, but the image boots fucking KDE and it's really dicey that ram situation. I don't need it to be that lean, I've never given a shit about RAM use, linoox can do whatever it wants but when one of my systems gets hard capped for memory, I gotta move.
I hate Debian tho and I am okay at updates, I keep several Manjaro installs from exploding so lmao. I do actually enjoy learning Linux even though I'm really bad at it, so I think I might have the aptitude.
I C. Looks like arch would be better in that situation for install since the net install image is very small on purpose.
I love yapping about various Linux things and I don't get to do it often and the arch wiki and using arch Linux is what got me started.
Yeag =) plus tinkering is funny, I wanna learn stuff. I have the worst brain and cannotath, so this.
Yapping about Linux things is cool!!
