Do you really need the framebuffer in RAM? Wouldn't that be entirely in the GPU RAM?
To put it in GPU RAM, you need GPU drivers. For example, NVIDIA GPU drivers are typically around 800M-1.5G. That math actually goes wildly in the opposite direction for an optimization argument.
They also pack in a lot of game-specific optimizations for whatever reason. Could likely be a lot smaller without those.
Looks really nice, I like the idea. But can they please empower a user interface designer to simply improve the margins and paddings of their interface? With a bunch of small improvements it would look significantly better. Just fix the spacing between buttons and borders and other UI elements.
I also like SliTaz: http://slitaz.org/en, and Slax too: https://www.slax.org/
Oh and puppy Linux, which I could never get into but was good for live CDs: https://puppylinux-woof-ce.github.io/
And there's also Alpine too.

Because this is now a paperless office, please consider the enviroment
Switching away from clay tablets was a step in the wrong direction.
Handmade parchment, or leather carvings if you don’t mind.

Which is served from the same insecure domain. If the download is compromised you should assume the hash from here is too.
An integrity check is better than nothing, but yes it says nothing about its authenticity.

Modern UX trends are a scourge of excessive whitespace and low information density that get in the way of actually accomplishing tasks. Any project that rejects those trends gets bonus points in my book.
Too much information density is also disorienting, if not stressing. The biggest problem is finding that balance between multiple kinds of users and even individuals.

Not to disrespect this, but it used to be entirely normal to have a GUI environment on a machine with 2MB of RAM and a 40MB disk. Or 128K of ram and 400 kb disk for that matter.
Yea, but those platforms were not 64bit
I have an older laptop with a 32-bit processor and found that TinyCoreLinux runs well on it. It has its own package manager that was easy to learn. This distro can be handy in these niche situations.
