Given the specs on an esp32, or stm32 for that matter, a usable desktop should really be possible. The amiga1k didn't have anything but page protection from its mmu, and many microcontrollers can do that. The web experience would be... different, but a lot should work fine.
- rcxdude 2y agoYeah, you could certainly make an older OS work quite nicely on such hardware. You can even cram Linux into such devices, but it's not going to give a smooth interface
- galangalalgol 2y agoI didn't think you could get modern kernels to work eithout an mmu that supports virtual memory? In any case linux seems a bit heavy. Something based off redox might work, it has a small code base at least, but it would be a lot of work.
