What is actually the lowest end device that can run Linux
The Pi Zero and LePotato come to mind. Both are pocket sized and surprisingly capable.
But both are modern computers, and Linux has been around for a long time. So I wonder if the correct answer is something much older, larger and less capable. So this is probably a question for historians? (I don’t see an obvious answer on Wikipedia.)
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.

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

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.
I’m fascinated by the plotpoint in Portal 2 when an AI is able to be run off of a single potato. I wonder if that’ll be possible someday.
