If it had these two things I would try OpenBSD for embedded use cases, instead of Debian or Alpine Linux. Linux GPU story is not stellar but for embedded applications it’s not too bad; KMS, DRM, and GL or GLES library stack worked amazingly well for me.

Bad if you have Nvidia, but works OK with Intel and AMD even for new hardware.

Last time I did embedded Linux software professionally I had ARM Mali Midgard GPU in the target chip, and consumed GLES 3.1 GPU API.
