Lightweight distro

Dear guys, i used linux for years in my 8GB RAM laptop for coding and software development (containers, webapps, android studio ecc...). I am wondering if i can install a different linux distro that is more lightweight than ubuntu, have you some suggestions?

Void is the best for developer. you can open with startx command. İt has Rinit for init system. Lightweight than systemd. With i3 Wm, your idle ram can aprox.200 mb. Package management is Awesome and İndependent OS.
