In my experience with NATVPS.net 256MB NAT KVM, Debian works but requires swap to run apt.
I agree that with some modifications it will run. I have a 222MB VirMach VM that runs fine.
Debian has a how to reduce the memory footprint outline here for anyone that bought one of those tiny VMs
My fav is
Reduce the size of the initramfs
create /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/compress with the content
COMPRESS=xz
reduce it further with
sed -i s,MODULES=most,MODULES=dep,g /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
update-initramfs -u

Installed using the official Debian 12 without any modifications—extremely stable and absolutely fantastic.
We have two rules: hostname and RTT.
Based on these rules, we are disallowed from buying anything.
Hostname limits: vps2 and vps7 are available, which needs to last until July.
RTT limits:
No servers within 30ms of existing servers.
This basically excludes the entire North America.
We have Eygelshoven and Tokyo from other providers too.
We did buy offer 1024 in New York (YABS published) that is only 11ms from Toronto, but only because we are running out of RAM in Toronto.

Ok so I bought that $1/YR VPS... now which OS should I install on this box with 3GB NVMe?
食之无味 弃之可惜 - Too arduous to relish, too wasteful to discard.
Alpine is the best all-around for these small RAM/disk boxes but as usual it depends for you usage etc
For idle?

Oh I fell asleep again for one more hour. And it seems I skipped a lot of pages.
What have happened for the last 8 hours?
you missed a $999/yr deal.

virbot going crazy again, $5 -> $4 -> $3 -> $2 -> even $1/year vps deal is available to purchase.
I’m a simple man I see gifs, I press thanks
$9.999/y is what I can afford. Even so it feels expensive.

Nope. Nearly a couple of times but has to be a REALLY good deal (+2G RAM & >=2IP) for me to bite, at this stage.

Should the 0%-off apply to the vps.blackfriday plans?
It tells me no items in my cart qualify "check the promotion terms". These terms were a bit complex ...
So... is it applied afterwards?
Only to middle plans, the

Accepting submissions for IPv6 less than /64 Hall of Incompetence.
So much for my scheme of buying 20 small VMs to get a good coupon on a larger VM.
Wire me some money, I will buy 20 small VMs for you so you can buy one large.

Well if you asked me, I would tell you no, but I understand you're asking VirMach so I'll stay out of it.
