Be careful running it in a Pi because it's a little heavy for that depending on how you configure it. A Pi model 4 is probably OK, but you wouldn't want to run it on a model 3 or something even older, and you're going to want to use one with at least 4GB of RAM.

Ah shit, the raspberry I've got is old as hell. Thanks for the heads up.

It will probably run even in a Pi Model 1, it's just going to be a bit slow to interact with, and you're not going to be able to do anything more complicated like enable the voice support (which you probably don't want anyway, because I think it's dependent on internet access for that, and then we're back to the same problem as Alexa, although I don't use it myself so I can't say for sure).

Saving the idea for a spare weekend. Cheers!
