That's correct. I mentioned it does depend on your use case through.

I've not looked recently but from memory and the discussion
yesterday <br>
seems people<br>
have a use case for them. Off the top of my memory the three
ideal <br>
candidates depending<br>
on what you requirements would be:<br>
<br>
1. Arch or Gentoo if your fine rolling basically your own
distro with a <br>
package manager<br>
2. Debian - Any version with a lightweight desktop should work<br>
3. Debian unstable derivatives based on Debian unstable. Seems
there <br>
were a lot, the only issue<br>
was some like antix were 32 bit, but it now seems to have a 64
bit <br>
version. They recommend 256<br>
mems of ram and I was able to open like 3 "normal tabs
without hitting <br>
swap in firefox with that.<br>
Idles between 0 and 3% of a single core from a i5 2500K at 4.2
Ghz in a <br>
VM. Rarely hits 3 percent<br>
at idle, through mostly its a flat 0% to 1% usage. Even on
that amount <br>
of hardware it was<br>
surprisingly fast. And yes it can probably run YouTube 1080p
on a <br>
Pentium 4 with enough ram,<br>
didn't try through.<br>

Debian or Arch would be best if your using GPU packages as
those would <br>
be in either AUR, the<br>
user Arch repo probably or another non distribution repo for
Debian.<br>
<br>
Also to my knowledge outside of Nvidia and a few ARM vendors
most GPUs <br>
are upstreamed in<br>
Mesa these days. The problem is that Nvidia has been the only
real <br>
choice in the high end due<br>
to it performing better there for the last few years, there
are rumors <br>
of Intel building<br>
discrete cards through:<br>

Maybe that helps some people as I forget to mention this
yesterday,<br>
