Ok, I had that coming, but that’s the’s the in complexity. What is the scrappy super cheap but capable competitor of the pi, like the pi was to average desktop PCs?
Ok, tldr: what can do the same as a pi for 30 bucks like 10 years ago the pi was?

I’d say Rock Pi or Orange Pi, if you want something close to capable.

Probably the Arduino Uno Q. It’s Qualcomm’s new Arduino board that runs Linux. It also seems to start at around $44 for the 2GB model (I’m guessing they’re making a loss since they’re new to the SBC game, and they’re probably trying to gain market share).
Or if you don’t need a whole general purpose operating system, then there’s plenty of microcontrollers that’ll work fine (ESP32, STM32, etc.).

Raspberry Pi Zero, maybe.

Realistically, the ESP32. Their range has gotten decently powerful enough that many of them replace what once took a Raspberry Pi to accomplish.
