This would seem to be running on the very edge of hardware: I'm surprised
that anything graphical will run at all in 1GB of total memory and 64M
of video RAM.

If you were to take Debian from 15 years ago, Debian 3.1 (or maybe 4.x)
this would work very well. If you were to only use command line tools
it might well run Debian 11 - but anything graphical will struggle on
1G of memory, I think.

All the very best, as ever,
