I'm in search of a UEFI Linux distribution that I can install on my 16GB hard drive. I've encountered some issues with popular options: Mint requires 16.1GB, Puppy doesn't support UEFI, and Tinycore has complicated wifi installation, which worries me since this system seems to be a bit of an edge case. For context, I'm using a 2014 Acer C720 Chromebook, upgraded with MrChromebox firmware. All I really need is the ability to log into YouTube, and I prefer not to leave a boot USB connected all the time. I'm open to suggestions as long as the distro is functional and has wifi support, but I'm generally not too picky.

You should check out Q4OS! It can fit under 8GB, and if you choose the minimal install option, even less space is needed. It works pretty smoothly on low-spec hardware. Here’s the link for downloads: q4os.org/downloads1.html
I tried Q4OS and it works great, thank you!
