    Is this one of those things where people try to install Linux on something simply to see if it can be done, or is there a practical upshot to this?

      i call it intellectual masturbation for linux enthusiasts and i enjoy partaking. lol

      this one’s fascinating if you’ve ever wondered how one cpu architecture can be emulated upon another and how memory can be managed outside of the original architecture.

          i’m in awe of the depth he went to, emulating a machine that was emulated on another machine that emulated linux; i lost track of the inception layers once he got to animal crossings. lol
