Breaking out my old Pi 1b. Anything lightweight I can put it to work on?
A couple of different project ideas/software over here as well: https://hub.balena.io/

Serendipity Engineering - part 1
The idea was to provide the balenistas with nothing more than an SD card and a postcard printed with a QR code. The code would lead them to an open fleet on balenaHub which they could then join by flashing the SD card and popping it into a device they already had. The instructions on the fleet card in hub told them to open http://cattlegrid.local on a browser, which opened a web server now running on their RaspberryPi device. Here's how it looked:

Use Raspberry Pi as Airplay server to screen mirror on TVs, monitors, projectors
There is a very similar level of magic for converting a raspberry pi to do AirPrint

DietPi released a new version 9.1
DietPi is a lightweight Debian based Linux distribution for SBCs and server systems, with the option to install desktop environments, too. It ships as minimal image but allows to install complete and ready-to-use software stacks with a set of console based shell dialogs and scripts.
The source code is hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi

Considerations for a long-running Raspberry Pi
That's a good point, but the array of devices supported by the DietPi team is extensive: https://dietpi.com/

The Orange Pi 5
Before someone starts the usual yadda yadda about the RPi biger community, the OS not having long time support etc. I would repeat one more time: do not rely on board vendor supplied images; this is valid for pretty much all boards. Just go to Armbian or DietPi pages and you'll almost certainly find one or more images that work on your board and forums to discuss about them with very knowledgeable people.

Those projects are well worth a contribution, as they don't have a giant like Broadcom behind them.

OpenWrt One/AP-24.XY: new open source router board by OpenWrt and Banana Pi
> bananapi do a lot of boards but their software story has been a bit poor
This is quite common with other board manufacturers too. I'd rather suggest to ignore completely their cobbled together distros, often also tainted by proprietary modifications, that become unmaintained in a few years, and see if they're among the many supported by Armbian or DietPi.

Looking for a way to remote in to K's of raspberry pi's...
RPi OS = diet pi https://dietpi.com/ - initial config via text file - SDcard burning out partially mitigated as writes log files to ram then flushes to SDcard reducing write cycles

Laptop so slow that even XFCE is laggy. What distro could run better?
You could also try very minimalistic distros like TwisterUI or DietPi which are most known for their use in the RasprebbyPi / SBC computers but which also have editions for desktop / laptop.
What are some alternatives?
