    I think maybe my real question is, what’s the lowest power device that can run Linux. Kinda like how two potatoes can run a clock

      For lowest power, the LePotato is (humorously) named for it’s low power requirements, and I understand the Pi Zero can actually run for hours on small rechargeable battery packs.

      A smaller lower power draw Pi Zero alternative that comes to mind is Arduino Teensy. But it sounds like no one is running Linux on Arduino Teensy, yet ?

      But the folks in that forum sound like the types who might make it happen at some point.
