If you want to avoid bloat, RISC OS is almost ready as an alternative
operating sustem for the Pi.  See

https://www.riscosopen.org/forum/forums/9/topics/997?page=1

There are quite a few things not working properly yet, including the screen
display, as the bottom 100 pixels or so are not visible.  Keep an eye out, as
progress is quite rapid at the moment, so it may be fixed in a week or two.

Boots in six seconds at present.  That will get a bit slower once booting to
the desktop is incorporated.

No Locomotive BASIC, but you get BBC BASIC.  And you can probably still
change the settings to boot to BASIC rather than the GUI, but I've not done
that in years.
