I wish the original XBOX port of GNU/Linux was revived. A custom Slackware install would be ideal for this.
Linux on the Sega 32X. Who needs hardware synchronization primitives anyway?

#32These recent posts remind me of an earlier time in the 2000s when people were trying to boot Linux from anything computer-like
It's kinda like "Running DOOM on x"
Doom can't compete with the ZMachine running on a pen, on a J2ME phone and even a PostScript file. And, with patience, you could even play Zork (or any other Z3 game such as Tristam Island) on a printer.

#33Earlier quoted context omitted.
I was actually thinking, if memory is the bottleneck; I could always go with the Saturn instead (Or find a way to have the 32X catridge writes go through…; but I’m no EE unfortunately). I do recall having a RAM expansion cartridge in mine that could possibly be used to fit more stuff if the main 2MBs it had were too little to hold Linux. You got me thinking…
Careful, or at this rate you'll end up running Linux on the Sega Saturn's 68000.
yeah
