Well as you seem to have failed to stop the world in 1990 so you could
get off, perhaps you should consider RISC OS.

Back in the 90s it was incredibly advanced for its time, but has
spectacularly failed to adopt the ways of modern bloat, so it will still
run with 90s levels of resources. You wont exhaust the the 512MB of a
Pi, and as it's resolutely single core, an old original Pi B or Zero is
sufficient, but it will also run even faster 2B and 3B.
