From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I second this, Alpine is seriously tiny!
You can't display things and run in a low memory footprint. That's not how it works as you need a buffer.
What are you trying to do? You could build a custom image but that it likely harder than you need.
"64-128mb ram" is hardly "low memory"!
For video it is. Unless you want your desktop to be in 128p
You can’t display things and run in a low memory footprint.
Rule 2 - No misinformation
Porteus kiosk thin client might be an option.
I've been using crunchbang++ on a Dell wyse thin client laptop. It doesn't auto login or anything but seem to work fine I got it on woot for 60 buckd
Neat, never heard of that, this thread is a gold mine.
The only one I ever used was https://ltsp.org/ , but it's been years, so I have no idea how it's doing now. It was great for thin clients.
