    Interesting, I’ve worked on car infotainment system for a short while, it was based on yocto, I think, and it was build with systemd support, tbh not once developers had a problem with resources on that thing, a lot of problems were with safety and regulatory requirements.

    Before that I had an experience with wind river based system for network appliance and there were no systemd but that was when systemd was still a new thing.

    Modern hardware is extremely powerful and has a lot of resources, I think there is some project that runs more or less standard linux on esp32.

      it is definitely a question of power. had a debian based device because it was plugged into mains and needed to do a lot of tasks. i also had a yocto based system that ran on solar pannels and scavenged power from vibrations of the pipes the computer was attached to. power and resources setting limits on what i was running.
