    It’s basically “using Excel as a terminal for a shell”.

    Haven’t watched the video yet, but in theory you can do anything in Excel on Windows since it can load COM/ActiveX components written in C / C++ / whatever language you want.

    It’s not just mimicking Linux tho. It’s running an RISC-V emulator via an DLL that is capable of running a (more or less) full-fledged Linux image.
