I already wrote in my comment that at most I can see very motivated writers wanting this device, so your first link is not an answer.

I already wrote in my comment that programming would be impossible unless you literally mean just writing code without actually compiling it and running it and testing it. If you have a stack to take care of, unless you are working with some mind-boggling lightweight stuff, this underpowered hardware would not work, so your second link is not an answer.

Third link is about some genering work that could be done which doesn't really tell me anything, so it's not an answer.




I used to hack on blender with a mind-boggling underpowered chromebook running fedora. And on a slightly less-boggling desktop box. Then they upped the minimum OpenGL version so I was left behind.

Also would compile pretty much anything I felt like playing around with where the only real limitation was memory…well, and time.

The world would probably be a better place if these “full stack” devs were forced to use underwhelming hardware so you don’t end up with 200mb downloads to view a simple webpage. Just my opinion.
