It's a Pi Pico. Linux can technically work there, but it's more of a "I ported Doom to a Casio calculator watch" project than anything practical.
Oh. My bad. Then interesting, something RSX-level on a little deck, with a something-commander and a snake game. Fun like it's 1983.
Pop on Meshtasic and maybe a Signal client, and I think this could be useful. Fold-out keyboard might be nice, too, but it does take some careful mechanical engineering to make robust hinges.
Signal as in those folks whose desktop client for Linux is on electronjs.
There's no reason it has to be that way on a small computer like this. It does have to be able to handle some encryption, though.
