    I wouldn't even bother trying to get such ancient software up and
    running.

    Straightforward. Thanks.

    Extensive information. Overwhelming really.

    Numerous features, with significance not evident to me. What is the
    difference between "display" and "renderer"?

    I need only a lightweight software to display a map tile on a Debian
    laptop offline.

    Editing, 3-D display, routing and other advanced features not
    necessary.

    Recommendations?

    Thanks, ... P.

    What kind of tile are you interested in? Have you looked at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tiles ? Raster tiles seem to be
    just .png files. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Rendering has a
    lot of information about hw to render vector tiles. There's also https://switch2osm.org/using-tiles/
