    Nah, it’s not “too heavy” the linux kernel is running on all kinds of tiny processors.

    My limited understanding is, that usually the problem is a lack of support and assistance from the hardware manufacturer to optimise the OS for their hardware.

    This is why GrapheneOS and similar have poorer performance on phones et cetera.

      Generally correct, but,

      GrapheneOS and similar have poorer performance on phones

      FWIW my gOS gets 40-50% more battery, likely due to lack of parasitic (see what I did there?) google services.
