I doubt this is aimed at hobbyists but looking to court developers looking for a quick and dirty hammer to drive their IoT nails. Remember those Spin scooters that were running off a Raspberry Pi? That's the market they are after. People who want a cheap low effort embedded computer that runs Linux. They can run a webthing in a container that talks to a cloud thing and bangs on some IO and you have a product.

That actually sounds good

  It does. But my hope is the low effort does not extend all the way through the business decision-making process and we aren't left with millions of vulnerable multi-core Linux computers connected via 5G in random gadgets.

    You already know it will lead to exactly that.

    We already have that. We call it "smartphones".

    The next thing you know, your scooter is overheating because it's mining Bitcoin

      Tricks on them! My scooter is steam powered and uses bitcoin mining to produce the steam. ;) Actually, now I want to build this. Maybe if these Qualcomm chips are cheap enough.
