From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Those things are ancient, too. It's annoying that there are no tiny cheap Linux SBC's like that, which you can straightforwardly buy.
Luckfox Pico Mini might be you're looking for. It's a Linux SBC that costs around 10 USD, in a Teensy/Raspberry Pico or even smaller formfactor.
Good to know about, thanks. The wifi version is bigger but the non wifi version is still interesting.
