Then you want a small desktop system, not an embedded one.

What wrong with that? My first Linux (SuSE) system had 16MB of RAM. I successfully compiled X on it in just few days. Why I should use outdated software on embedded chip with say 256MB of LPDDR?

What does it have to do with outdated software? You still use kernel version and userspace libraries of your choice - arguably more flexibly and up to date than on any mainstream distro.
