Hmm, that does look promising!

Not a requirement, just my preference.

I have a laptop with 4 GB of RAM that I'd like to use for occasional comic book reading. (It's a touch screen 2-in-1 laptop that folds over into a tablet configuration.) I use Bazzite on my main PC and I love how low maintenance it is. Are there any immutable/atomic distros that featue XFCE, LXDE, or some other low RAM friendly desktop? Or, should I just layer XFCE or LXDE on top of UBlue Core or make my own image or something? Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks everyone for the feedback and quality discussion! It looks like the best options for immutable have a learning curve or time commitment attached (e.g. NixOS). For a daily driver computer it might be worth the trouble to learn, but in this case I decided to just go with standard Fedora XFCE for now.

EDIT 2: At the suggestion of throwaway403 I installed EndlessOS and it's perfect for my use case! Normally I'm not a GNOME fan but for a device that will often be used in tablet mode, it's a pretty smooth experience out of the box.

The Muppet Movie is all about the Muppets meeting and trying to get to Hollywood to become movie stars. At the beginning and end you see the Muppets in a theater watching their own movie.

Actually a lot of other Muppet content is similarly meta.
