The author managed to run LUnix on an NES without tricks, like embedding a Raspberry Pi into the cartridge.
I apologize for being pedantic, but he’s not running Linux on the NES, since LUnix is not Linux. This is still a cool project, but the title is a bit misleading.
Pretty much any rtos now a days has “unix” like commands, I wonder if he looked into nuttx or zephyr at all.
Well, yes and he even explains all that in the beginning of the video.
Yeah, but then why still put “Linux running on an NES?” as the title? It’s just click bait
Would you give the video more than a glance if the title was “Operating System Similar To Linux Running on an NES?” I know I’d just scroll past it compared to the original title.
He probably could have just said Unix instead of Linux. I get why he didn’t, and it’s not that big of a deal, just slightly annoying
because linux is now interchangeable with “unix like”
really it’s wrong to call linux linux, linux is just the kernel… gnu/linux is okay…
