    I’ve been using Sparky Linux on my 2015 Lenovo Flex 2. Has 4g of ram, but that’s way excess for this OS. With my 4g, I can easily run vs Codium, chrome, Firefox, GIMP, and even Minecraft with mixed success. Haven’t checked storage space much, but I know I have a lot of bloat that I installed after the fact. It comes with basically only the packages you need to run the OS. You can pick which desktop environment you want at install, I use KDE but it supports xFCE for an even lighter setup.

    Edited to add:

    It’s Debian based also, most packages I just install the latest Debian version and it runs fine.
