From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think some more information would be nice.
Is the device supposed to send or receive?
Data or simple messaging?
What kind of traffic do you expect? Streaming video or a few status messages a day.
Fair point — data only, probably around 200mb a month? Planning to run a simple web server, nothing too heavy.
You can't expose ports on mobile data. You can ether host the web server at home or on a vps or use something like tailscale.
What about Cloudflare? You can tunnel to them instead of Tailscale's limited public serve
I'm not really a fan of cloudflare tunnels, but I guess thats an option too
