I've used many of these small Linux distros. I used to have Tiny Core in a VM for different things.

I also like SliTaz: http://slitaz.org/en, and Slax too: https://www.slax.org/

Oh and puppy Linux, which I could never get into but was good for live CDs: https://puppylinux-woof-ce.github.io/

And there's also Alpine too.

wondering what's your typical usage for those small distros?

I used DSL for the control of a homebrew 8' x 4' CNC plasmacutter.

I was just thinking today how I miss my DSL (Damn Small Linux) setup. A Pentium 2 Dell laptop, booted from mini-CD, usb drive for persistence. It ran a decent "dumb" terminal, X3270, and stripped down browser (dillo I believe). Was fine for a good chunk of my work day.
