<p dir="ltr">I'd be curious as to how stock Debian compares... It can certainly be tiny, more so than most options out there.</p>
<p dir="ltr"> Expected challenges to me would be...<br>
- might need to pull custom kernel to support hardware, as Debian has a tendency to elderly kernels in stable releases<br>
- I'm not sure WiFi support is necessarily what all would term "friendly" (mind you, haven't tried that lately, so I could be surprised)<br>
- not sure what out-of-box touch sense you're likely to get</p>
<p dir="ltr">But I'd expect "office" software to be handled pretty happily. And you can have *any* window manager you want, including plenty of obscure ones! :-)</p>
