New ESP32 chip can run Linux, nearing Raspberry Pi territory

Original: The newest ESP32 can run Linux and it's getting close to a Raspberry Pi

Espressif's newest ESP32 microcontroller can now run Linux, putting it close to the capabilities of a Raspberry Pi single-board computer. The development has sparked discussion among hobbyists and developers about whether cheap microcontrollers could increasingly replace small single-board computers for lightweight projects, blurring the line between the two categories.

Why now: A low-cost microcontroller approaching single-board computer capability is a notable shift for the maker and embedded developer community
