That was kinda my point. This project was a small stepper for driving a microscope focusing knob and an IR blaster to drive a camera shutter for automating narrow-depth of field image stacking. The goal was to build a delightful tool he didn't have to think about, and not an ongoing IT headache. It's my fault for ignoring the warts in Linux (boot speed, GPIO slowness, wifi driver mess, filesystem fragility, security). I had one on hand and I used it, even though it wasn't a good match for this project.
