Holy moly, this is insanely awesome. Can this revive Chromebooks and ancient machines? Can it actually play YouTube videos with sound, though?

It is mostly an incredibly cool hobby project, nothing that you can daily drive nor something that strives to be daily drivable

Sure.

All you have to do is write all the programs you need. You get an editor and a web browser to get you started!

SliTaz might be an option, ~50mb image with Midori browser and other stuff; assuming the live image correctly detects and activates the wifi, it should be good enough

I've run it on a VM - it's not the most stable experience. Then again, it does run like lightning!

For chrome books, consider puppy Linux - it runs from a pen drive but can be installed.

Tiny footprint for an OS, and well optimised.
