Maybe MX Linux with Fluxbox?

I feel like, as you already mentioned, a headless arch install sounds the closest to what you want. I’m not sure why you need to write your own install script. What’s wrong with the normal Arch install script? I’ve never used it myself, actually. When I first installed arch, I wrote down each step in the tutorial video I watched into a set of discrete steps. I now have that .odt saved and can pull it up again whenever needed, so reinstalling arch isn’t as daunting as it was for me originally, but I still have the flexibility of doing everything manually and understanding why I am doing each step.

Be sure to allocate plenty of swap space

Just see if you can tolerate Debian and lxqt before you start doing weird stuff. What kind of weird mutant laptop is this? You may have more and cheaper upgrade options available than you think…

Not a full distro but perhaps take a look at the Games on Whales project? You could do a minimal Arch install then it on top of that. Or maybe since the whole setup will live on docker, maybe some flavor of immutable distro? I use and enjoy OpenSuse MicroOS

Tbh any distro should be fine even the most bloated distro still lighter than Windows, if all you do is streaming 8gb should be more than enough

Minimal Fedora or something like LXQt and see if you can tolerate it.
