1. Wikipedia handily has a table listing lightweight distributions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-weight_Linux_distribution

2. Within that table, typically one will see the oldest processor supported is the 486. That's because it introduced the atomic CMPXCHG instruction, which Linux relies upon. I assume the one 386 OS listed, Tiny SliTaz, uses a workaround involving the XCHG instruction such as https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2009-April/005533.html.

Yes, especially now that Frontier has gone to 28" seat pitch https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/travel/the-guide-to-frontier-airlines-stretch-seating, when the current industry standard (which in turn of course is much reduced compared to 40 years ago) is 31". Femurs are literally longer than the space allotted (including pelvis and kneecap) for those over 6' tall. That's even less than the 29" on easyJet.https://www.airlinequality.com/info/seat-pitch-guide/.
