…and be userfriendly and must be lightweight on my brand new 32core ryzen.

What makes it lightweight when it uses the same packages with the same dependencies? And what does prevent me from install openbox on Debian?

I think you have confused the apt command with the apt-get command. apt-get doesn't handle files, while apt has it since the very first version. This is one of the important differences between the two commands. This was one of the main reasons why I have been using only apt for years.

What makes it a bit faster specifically? I've been interested for a long time.

You missed the correct path.

W: Unable to locate package ./rescuezilla_2.4.2-1_all.deb

Use the correct path to your deb file.

Ssh listens on port 22, as soon as a connection is made the host moves the connection to another port to free up 22 for other new connections.

Makes sense

No, it's nonsense. Nothing like that happens.

All three are just a reskinned Debian, as is MX Linux.

*buntu can't be counted as lightweight.

Try: https://github.com/marmolak/gray386linux <-- It was designed for really old hardwares.

I’ve already tried MX Linux on an old Thinkpad SL400, and didn’t see any difference from plain Debian.

Because it's the stock Debian + custom themes/skins + some crappy useless minitools. The 99% of packages come from the official Debian repository, the rest are only the rice.

If you have newer machine than a real 386:

# apt install /path/to/package.deb

i486 is still supported by the recent Linux kernel: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/x86/Makefile_32.cpu, and it is a 34 years old architecture. Everything else you wrote is correct.

"Linux Kernel 4.14.8 (Dec 2017)" - Would this be the "very recent"?
