Linux Running on an NES? (www.youtube.com)

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.

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

[–] DarkMetatron@feddit.de 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well, the title is a question and the answer is: Not quite but near enough.

A title has to catch interest, and in this case I would not say that it is click bait because in the end he kind of put a "Linux" on the "NES".

I tend to be forgiving when the content behind the click bait title is good, like it is here.
