Um, can I get an answer key?
I know the ESP32-S3 can technically boot linux, however idk if it counts as “mainline” since I think the kernel does need to be modified slightly
That would not be mainline
Mainline basically means you’ve cloned the source from Linus’ repo, applied no patches to it (incl distro patches) and built that
Turns out I was wrong about modifications being needed since linux-xtensa has now been merged into mainline linux: Kernel Github Repo
Damn and I was about to look that up
