Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.
@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.
It's literally just Mint.. The only distros I can name that I haven't tried are Ub Kylin, Apricity, Chromium, and Solus
EDIT; Oh, ha, I didn't mention Fedora and Arch, of all distros
