A Minimum Viable Computer, or Linux for $15
This is a ‘Linux Swiss Army Knife’, offering maximum utility while still being able to fit in your pocket. Is it fast? No. Can it run a GUI? Also no. But it can run scripts, ping a server, toggle a few GPIOs, and interact with a USB device. This is a minimum viable computer that can:
- Run Linux. Just command line.
- Has a keyboard. No touchscreen display.
- Has a USB port. To connect to other things.
- Some sort of battery power, I guess.
That’s about it. Could you do all of this with a smartphone? Yeah, kinda, if you root prepaid Android phone, but even that would cost more than $30. I know I can build something cheaper.
