A state-of-the-art Linux distro for RISC laptops that I could get my hands on (atm only ARM Chromebooks).
stali is a static linux distribution based on the original pre-2010 plans of the suckless.org project. x86-64 and Arm architectures are targeted. One Makefile builds it all. Tries to avoid sucking at all costs. Ideal for embedded systems.
Of course it runs NetBSD.
