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.

        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.

          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.

      Pretty much any rtos now a days has “unix” like commands, I wonder if he looked into nuttx or zephyr at all.

        That’s fair. This was more of a complaint about the video than the post. I do still think it’s a cool project, just annoyed by the click bait
