What do you mean by PC? Just asking because sometimes people use PC to refer to a computer that runs Windows. Just sort of how the vernacular ended up going over the years.

I can’t help, but even with Windows I think they have a way to run Linux stuff on it now, so it should be possible.

Using other computing devices may be possible but more like a development project than just installing.

You can use it on a Raspberry Pi, which has about 1/2 the power of a modern smartphone. The main issue will be software and hardware compatibility.
