Great,

That will be a nice start for an open source dynabook ;-)
I have used Alpine Linux (Busybox; musl rather than libc; very light-weight) with Cuis and NetSurf browser on LePotato (46 bit arm) without X.
Not official, but I have heard of a port of Alpine Linux to RISCV.
I think of this as using a "shim OS" -- just enough to avoid writing device drivers.
I am _very_ fond of this idea.
Reminds me of the last time SqueakNOS tried to approach things: https://squeaknos.blogspot.com/ http://squeaknos.sourceforge.net/ (https://sourceforge.net/projects/squeaknos/files/ )

We might think of dusting off the Scamper code and (re)doing the web browser in Cuis.
Life is short, but much fun to be had! :)
