It's not a daily driver, but it does run.

    That “Someone” turns out to just be Action Retro. Classic. But then again, maybe everyone isn’t already watching his wacky content regularly like I am.

        Aye! I was rummaging around his socials hoping he was on peertube as well, but alas.

          Not yet. But I don’t think it would take much to get him doing it. He already runs his own mastodon instance and a number of other services himself.

      Yeah it’s super weird the way this article was written, it feels AI almost but I can’t put my finger on it.

      He should give MenuetOS or KolibriOS a try instead of Tiny Core - could probably run with only 64MB of RAM instead of 128
