All three are just a reskinned Debian, as is MX Linux.

*buntu can't be counted as lightweight.
Try: https://github.com/marmolak/gray386linux <-- It was designed for really old hardwares.
I’ve already tried MX Linux on an old Thinkpad SL400, and didn’t see any difference from plain Debian.
Because it's the stock Debian + custom themes/skins + some crappy useless minitools. The 99% of packages come from the official Debian repository, the rest are only the rice.
If you have newer machine than a real 386:
# apt install /path/to/package.deb
"Linux Kernel 4.14.8 (Dec 2017)" - Would this be the "very recent"?
Put that fix earlier in system booting process.
Did you know that "esc, enter" is actually a workaround for "alt+enter"?
No, it's nonsense. Nothing like that happens.
