From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The Linux kernel works fine. How much ram do you have? I personally would build a custom image with buildroot.
Other option is Debian
The option is Debian.
32MB
I think that's going to be more of a limitation than your CPU. Any chance of getting 256+ MB of ram?
Buildroot as that is to small for anything else. However, it can run small programs like vi and nano. You probably could even run neofetch.
