Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Damn Small Linux 2024
ELKS supported MMU-less operation on 8088 and 80286 machines, but I don't think an ARM port exists: https://github.com/ghaerr/elks

SIIG MiniSys S286 Small Form Factor PC
Roughly in the mid-90s I bought at a local surplus store a "Carry 1" industrial 8088 computer which to my surprise I later discovered it could run Linux (ELKS: https://github.com/ghaerr/elks). I ultimately sold it on Ebay because although it was a beautiful piece of old tech, I was struggling to find more space for other things.
Here's one. I had only the central unit, mine had two floppy drives.

My Happy HP 95LX is my everyday computer.
I don't think you can replace the OS on these. Unless there is a way to boot them from DOS, but you are looking at 8c086 machine so the choice is limited. Linux or BSD won't work. But ELKS might if it can be made to boot from DOS. Minix 2.02 seems to work.

$5 Ai-M62-12F-Kit RISC-V development board features BL616 WiFi 6, BLE 5.2, and Zigbee MCU, plenty of I/Os - CNX Software
Yet ELKS works on 16 bit computers with 640k of RAM.

Furby 1998 Source Code
Some small size Linux-like OSes do exist though: one commenter suggested Lunix (which I didn't know, thanks for the link), and a slightly bigger one is ELKS which runs on old MMU-less x86 CPUs. I managed to run it on a 8088 industrial PC ages ago.

I should have a Furby buried somewhere; now that I think of it, it may be the right platform to stick a bigger brain into, make it wireless so that it could be connected to the home IoT network then signal events or alerts.

Still no love for WPA3 on the Raspberry Pi 5
How do you figure Pis have bad integration with Yocto?
https://github.com/agherzan/meta-raspberrypi
For what it's worth, the entire Pi lineup is also well supported by Buildroot. In-tree, no less.

Most smartphones run Linux (modified kernel) as well as most servers in the world and some consoles but what other major things run a Linux kernel?
Embedded linux exactly. Major OEMs are using yocto. Check https://www.yoctoproject.org/

Creating a minimal Debian system
Been there. You don't want alpine or debian. Good gpos, but what you want is Yocto, which will let you build exactly and only what you need piece by piece including only the kernel modules for your hardware, the exact applications you use and no extras, and with a little extra tweaking, you can wire in Mender for ota updates and the ability to push custom images to clients that need specialization, or even fully unlocked images for customers that need it, plus if you're using an SD card, you can send users recovery drives instead of shipping full devices or let them build their own images without your proprietary code

Distro that is only terminal, but still has the packages to install stuff?
I second Yocto. It's the kernel in use by the OpenBMC project

How to make your own distro?
One last "option" is yocto but tis is not good for desktop, but it can be a fun project.
