Half? Bet that number is higher. Linux can run on a potato if you find the right distro.
For example, the potato I ran my web server on in the late 90s... That's a 386sx under there.
Nice. Could probably still host some static pages today.
While you can run Linux on a potatoe, we would not making new friends that way. I have tried to use a RPi2b as a machine with GUI and browser, but I would not recommend this as an example for a Linux system for the uninitiated.
True. Those are slow. I have tried it with a 1b myself.
But those should do things like kodi or pihole just fine.
