Smallest GUI distro (for a low-RAM Chromebook)? (programming.dev)

PeppermintOS? I'm trying to prepare an ancient Chromebook C202S for Linux and have had some ideas from antiX to MXLinux and Loc-OS, but it seems that PeppermintOS may be among the best choices.

The tech level of this Chromebook's end user is unlikely to work well with Arch + BSPWM, which was recommended to me by someone else.

Any lxQT based desktop will be fast on low end devices. Try Linux Mint LxQT edition
