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.

        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.

        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…
