Hidden services consume resources, background processes you didn&rsquo;t authorize run constantly, and update mechanisms interrupt workflow at the worst possible moments. After years of managing enterprise systems and implementing automation solutions, I found that traditional distributions introduced unnecessary complexity that directly impacted development efficiency.</p> <p>The problem became clear when I noticed development machines taking 30+ seconds to boot, consuming gigabytes of RAM before opening a single application, and running dozens of services irrelevant to actual development work. The solution: a lean, transparent system where every component serves a clear purpose.</p>
