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

          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

          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

      I just saw that SponsorBlock got the same video is working on YouTube, but not piped instances - at least in PipePipe (beautifully named NewPipe+SponsorBlock fork)

      Is SponsorBlock even available for such videos?
      Is there a way to like link them up to already marked videos or would we have to do the same work again?

      I haven’t really spent time with all of that, but as piped is supported by NewPipe/PipePipe, it would be quite convenient to use - but if I lose my SponsorBlock capabilities, I will need to reassess that choice (using piped over YouTube - NewPipe/PipePipe is awesome!)
