Microcontrollers were always weird. Z80, 8051, AVR... they never were designed to really use OSes like Linux or Windows (or Apple II). That being said: Rasp. Pi, Beaglebone Black, Le Potato, and many other SBCs are proper computers with proper OS support. --------- Back in the 80s, the Microcontroller vs Microcomputer concept wasn't really solidified yet. Yes, the 8051 and Z80 existed, but they were still external memory bus and kinda microprocessor-ish.
