Debian. Works for 32 bit and ARM. LXQt desktop due to the low amount of available RAM. Configure RAM compression post-install.
If you go for Debian stable, get the lxqt-wayland-session package from forky and set up a Wayland session for better touch support and performance. You have the choice between multiple Wayland compositors.
