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.
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! :)

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/ )
