If you need even smaller, DamnSmallLinux with JWM might do it.

I like JWM on a small system; I prefer if it I'm using Puppy.


X11 is not going away any time soon, as Wayland still has its issues, 
but X11 ceased development in 2012. People say "because it's a finished 
product" but I think the truth is that it's such spaghetti code that new 
people really cannot work on it, and old timers don't see the point. 
It's a crutch on top of a shim held up by a brace.

Here is a good presentation on the problems that are baked into X11, and 
why Wayland became necessary:

On modern systems we don't realize how =SLOW= X11 is, but on a very old 
box you could watch the screen redraw in slow motion.... it is probably 
the biggest performance bottleneck in all of linux.
