I wish x32 had taken off; better performance and lower memory use.

I have a netbook that would really benefit from that. It's a 64-bit Atom processor. Currently I'm running a 32-bit kernel and userspace, but it looks like the way forward is going to be 64-bit kernel and 32-bit userspace.

That's what the Raspberry Pi Desktop did.

It's the Pi project's x86 OS, a drastically cut-down Debian with LXDE. It was pretty much the smallest full-desktop distro I've seen.

(Excluding specialist things with window managers like antiX or TinyCore.)

Sadly never made it off Bookworm. I wish they'd update it, or someone took over maintenance.
