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

          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.
