Sadly, TinyCore [1] is hardly mentioned anymore when tiny distros are discussed, although still in development [2]. Maybe it's still just for a small niche of users, even after 15 years, but you can start with only 17MB's and add only the desired extensions [3].

- slim 3y agoit is IMHO the best distro for the USB drive use case, because the USB drive is still DOS formatted and you can use it as any USB drive. It's also super fast, because it runs on ramdisk, and forgets everything you did not explicitly save once you restart. It also has d-core which gives you access to all Debian packages https://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/doku.php?id=dcore:welcome https://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/doku.php?id=dcore:welcome
