I bought one of these on Amazon last week for $25:

I've been really impressed. It's basically a hackable Fitbit with no strap or battery. Full wifi, BLE, 6-axis motion. It's was really easy to get the C demos running. LVGL is awesome. Can't speak to Rust. I get enough of that complexity in my day job.

Other brands that look good for beginners are Elecrow and Makerfabs.

I specifically wanted to get into RISC-V, but they all have boards for other architectures as well.

This one is nice too, it has an enclosure. You could use this for a smart home dashboard. Be careful with the boards with two USB ports, they will backfeed power.
