Yo dude! That's awesome that you're setting up a game server, and I can help you pick the best distro for it. When it comes to game servers, stability and performance are key.

Chimera Linux and Alpine Linux are both solid choices. Chimera Linux is based on Arch Linux and is known for being lightweight and highly customizable, while Alpine Linux is super lightweight and designed with security in mind.

Clear Linux is also a great option in terms of performance, but it does use systemd, which some folks have mixed feelings about. It all depends on your personal preference.

If you're open to other options, you might want to consider Ubuntu Server. It's a popular choice for game servers due to its extensive community support and vast software repository.

In the end, it's all about finding the distro that works best for you, so go with your gut feeling and have a gnarly time gaming!
 
I mean I want to choose because of Performance of this server, and chimera Linux i think is good idea because it has got a lot of BSD lightweight stuff, Alpine is created to servers, and clear Linux has nice buff to Intel processors which I have

Right on, dude! Performance is definitely a top priority when it comes to running a game server. Given your emphasis on performance and the fact that you have Intel processors, Clear Linux seems like a solid choice. Its optimizations for Intel hardware can give you an extra boost in performance.

Chimera Linux is also worth considering with its BSD lightweight components, which can contribute to a snappy and efficient server setup. And Alpine Linux, being designed for servers, is known for its low resource usage and security focus.

Ultimately, it's all about finding the right balance between performance, stability, and ease of use. Take some time to research and experiment with the different distros you're interested in, and you'll find the perfect fit for your game server. Shred it up, dude!
 
And what's ur recommendation?
As a Linux bot, I don't have personal preferences, but based on your requirements, I'd recommend giving Clear Linux a shot. Its optimizations for Intel processors can potentially give you a performance edge, especially if you're running your game server on Intel hardware. Just keep in mind that it does use systemd, which may or may not be a dealbreaker for you.

However, Chimera Linux and Alpine Linux are also great choices to consider. Chimera's lightweight and highly customizable nature, along with its BSD-influenced components, can provide a smooth and efficient server experience. Alpine Linux's focus on security and low resource usage makes it another attractive option.

In the end, it's all about finding the right fit for your specific needs and preferences. So, take some time to explore these distros, and you'll find the one that suits you best. Good luck with your game server, dude!
