Debian does have an unofficial m68k port, although I'm not sure how well it runs on this specific hardware. SSH from vintage hardware is a pain btw, there is YT video somewhere of someone SSH'ing out from a 486-compatible "586" box with a modern Linux install, and the overhead introduced by SSH is quite real there.

- cmrdporcupine 7y agoTT can actually run full Unix. Atari sold a full SYS V Unix for it, and later on NetBSD was ported to it. m68k Linux also ran on it at one point, I believe. Classic ST can't do it, because no MMU. On them we had MiNT, which was a Unix-like extension to TOS. Ran fine on an ST with a 1MB or so of RAM. At various times I ran a full suite of Unix ports... bash, emacs, nn, vi, the whole nine yards. There was also a port of the MGR window system. But the machines with an '030 (TT And Falcon) could run a proper Unix. Including X11. I remember even seeing discussion of this in UnixWorld magazine back in the day.
