My thinly-veiled lack of understanding of Linux is in shambles. CPU optional?

You can install it on tplink router. So it is optional as you can see. Ir maybe this

It literally says "32 bit RISC-V homemade CPU out of discrete components".

I dont know how you would stretch the definition of cpu in form of discrete components but yea current processors also stray from the definition of a alu and a control unit and registers since people call the different cores cpus. But even a Mikrocontroller has a all that.

You need a cpu to run linux. If you just want to rin a "program" you can do that with logic gates and no alu or control unit but that would limit the form of your program to exactly that circuit.

Ok, we will have to wait for compute in RAM to run Linux
