I don’t need Linux to turn off a lightning bulb the same way I don’t need a supercomputer to run Microsoft word.

I don’t need Linux to turn off a lightning bulb the same way I don’t need a supercomputer to run Microsoft word.
- charcircuit 5y agoSimilarly you could run Word on a computer from the 90s, but it's easier and more continent to use a modern PC.
- GhettoComputers 5y agoA Raspberry Pi will absolutely not be faster at turning on a lightbulb versus embedded solutions, running it through the linux stack will make it much slower.
- charcircuit 5y agoNobody cares if your light bulb turns on in 1 microsecond vs 1 millisecond (these are example figures). Sure it may be slower, but both fall within the nonfunctional requirements of the under.
- GhettoComputers 5y agoI do, having an OS will have more errors so it won't be as reliable. Want to use a Rube Goldberg machine to turn on your lightbulb? Not me.
