The value and capabilities of ESP32s are incredible. Most projects I see that use Linux to drive a GPIO would be better served by an ESP32 almost every time. They can even be coded using Arduino, and LLMs can produce Arduino code easily. The boot instantly, consume extremely little power, and are so small they make even a PI Zero look like a giant brick.
