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!


You could give Fedora Sway Atomic a try, it’s basically Fedora immutable (same as Bazzite), but with Sway (tileable, keyboard centric window manager) desktop. It’s low on resources but I’d say it’s not for everyone.
Or you could build your own Fedora bootc version with whatever desktop environment you like. The syntax is that of Containerfiles and even if you’ve never build a container image before, it’s extremely easy to do.
