I have a Linux Mint running on a intel atom CPU with 256mb ram and no graphics card and it kinda works.

    Lightweight distros need less than 1GB of RAM, so you don’t need to use the entire RAM.

      It is amazing how little you need to have a functional system. I have a OpenMediaVault / minidlna server using NAS ARM board that only has 256MB of RAM, and it isn’t using all of it, and doesn’t need to swap.
