Nope... I'm using a tiny SBC, a Radxa Zero with Manjaro Linux as a ultra low power daily driver and it is perfectly usable for light browsing, programming or productivity.

It boots Linux in 7 seconds and xfce desktop is pretty snappy.

Kernel is 6.1 and RAM is only 4GB.

Opens Lazarus almost instantly and compiles ARM binaries, super fast.

Amazing little machine...

Modern Android runtime is probably too heavy for these cores alone if not accompanied by some A7X cores.

That more Android being more bloated than desktop Linux.
