I just picked Alpine Linux for majority of security and efficiency out of the box. It still required a lot of configuration, for lowering attack surface and hardening.
I know you asked for a lightweight distro, but from a security standpoint, I recommend using whatever allows you to relock the bootloader. Which looking up I dont see any choice. If relocking doesnt matter, then any distro for speed is basically any distro that comes with as minimal stuff as possible.
I personally use it as a desktop. What makes it desktop or a server is really what you install or do for it.
Yes, it is. I have only never seen it to be used for something else then docker images so far.
Tips and tricks? I want to install on a chromebook I have, only 16gb mmc so a light distro would be great.

Also, I might be wrong so do some research
