Honestly I learned linux because I needed to turn some pumps on and off…
Made some arduino based controllers, but those were a pain to figure out how to access remotely, so raspberry pi it was, but eventually I needed more horsepower, so debian it was, then ESP-32s were popularized and now I’ve come full circle with a fleet of ESP-32s reporting to a debian server… eventually I’ll get around to understanding some of the hardware interface in the OS a bit more.

All of it by just kind of bumping into problems
