What I meant was that it's highly unlikely that running the X server
and a minimal window manager, like Matchbox, is going to require much
more memory than running any GTK application. As for storage
consumption, I used to be able to put a custom tailored, but largely
unpatched, stack of kernel, X.org, GTK, and GStreamer on a 32 MB eMMC
10 years ago, and leave enough room for an application to run.

You may want to look at Yocto — https://www.yoctoproject.org/

Ciao,
