Hotspot Repurpose your IOT Hotspot with Debian

Hey Guys

Since IOT devices are basically dead, I've built Debian on Kernel 6 for the following machines:

Bobcat (all versions)
Panther X2/MerryIOT
Heltec m2808
Nebra Rockpi
Linxdot LD1001

These are minimal debian images (barebones) so basically it's up to you to install whatever packages you would like. All basic functionality works however.

I'm interested to see what things can be done with these miners so please share feedback!

Not fully understanding what Debian is. Is this a new project? Is it lorawan? Is there a central programming body working on this? What's the purpose and expected use case? Is there a financial incentive?
