Oh, that's only in later French versions. Clue in the name. She was one of the 7 or 9 sidhe (fairies, fay) talking care of the magical otherworld, The Isle of Apples (commonly place of Apples in Irish), corrupted Avalon. Guinevere was also fay (literally the White Enchantress) and enemy of Merlin and Morgan Le Fay (Morien).

I doubt with these specs any Ubuntu derivat is fitting.
There are distributions out there with less scripting in runtime. One could use Debian for example.
