Either pxe netboot or usb or installable. Immuttable or not. Ramfs. With a host selector or fully auto login ?

Ultra light 16 to 128mb storage 64-128mb ram. Or “full sized”

And lastly, something like that, but that would run on a proxmox host.

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

It’s probably plenty for vnc or spice though. I had a 486 with 8mb of video RAM that could do 1024x748 display resolutions…

Porteus kiosk thin client might be an option.

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.
