Linux: Turning your garbage into useful shit

The first step into the world of owning your tech is knowing what can actually run on it. It's not just Linux. Just not Windows or MacOS.

If you're super into what you've just accomplished, have a look at the ESP32 ecosystem and behold.

I had a similar experience with a "wow the Linux community is beautiful" feeling after booting into Debian on an old rockchip CPU TV box !

Have a look at the armbian community. Those guys are on another level 😁.

Edit

To my surprise, I even discovered that you can boot Armbian on these inexpensive boxes and use them as a lightweight desktop

Oupsi ! It's late here so I didn't read till the end ! Sorry about that 😅

I use old android phones for WiFi on some of my desktops.

Shizuku to be able to do privileged, shell, and hidden api stuff.

Termux to set up an sshd proxy/server to be able to access the machines.

InviziblePro for anonymized DNScrypt and tor socks proxy.

You don't technically need docker though. It's just a convenience layer.

...and that is why I love Linux as well! Gotta love my little ~~potato~~ Orange pi zero 3.
