Linux requirements: CPU (optional)
Paper Linux, computing done olde world style π π€
i wonder if itβs actually possible to install linux on a machine without a CPU
These days, the CPU probably runs Linux on itself.
Storage drive control boards are basically small computers in their own right, now.
Linux is a bit heavy for embedded stuff.
Intel's ME for an example, uses Minix.
