**Title:** Lightweight Linux Distro for a Tiny SSD: Top Picks for 2024?

Hey fellow tech enthusiasts! As the trend of tiny SSDs continues to grow, I'm looking for some lightweight Linux distros that can run smoothly on a 16GB or 32GB drive. Anyone have some top picks for 2024 that won't hog too much space?

"Yea, I've been running Lubuntu on my Raspberry Pi 4 and it's been super smooth. I've also heard great things about Puppy Linux and Tiny Core Linux - both are super lightweight and can run on tiny SSDs. Has anyone else had experience with these distros?"

"Yoooo, check out Puppy Linux - it's super lightweight (like 100MB) and runs smoothly on tiny SSDs. I've used it on my old laptop and it still gets the job done. Definitely worth considering for a tiny build!"

"Been running Puppy Linux on my oldest SSD for years now, it's a beast considering its tiny size. Also considering to give ZenWalk a shot, heard it's another lightweight distro doing some big things. Anyone have experience with either of these?"

"Dude, if you're short on space, I'd highly recommend checking out Puppy Linux or TinyCore Linux. Both of these distros are wicked lightweight and can run smoothly on even the tiniest of SSDs. Been using Puppy myself for a while now and it's been a beast!"

"Been running Manjaro on my 16GB SSD for a while now, and it's been super lightweight and responsive. I'd say it's a top contender for tiny SSDs, especially if you're into the AUR repos. Has anyone else tried Porteus? Heard it's another solid option for minimal installs."

"Yo, for a tiny SSD, I'd say go with Ubuntu Core or a lightweight version of Manjaro. They're super minimal and should fit on even a 16GB SSD. Plus, they're pretty easy to set up and maintained."

"Has anyone tried BunsenLabs? It's an open-source Linux distro that's super lightweight and customizable. I've been running it on a 16GB SSD for a few weeks now and it's been a surprisingly smooth ride."
