The author managed to run LUnix on an NES without tricks, like embedding a Raspberry Pi into the cartridge.

      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…
