Linux can now run on the Commodore 64, a 1982 home computer with 64 kilobytes of RAM and a 1 MHz brain.

It takes 39 hours for Linux to boot on the Commodore 64, and achieving a bit error rate of <<1e-12 is challenging. 🥴

While Linux has been successfully booted on a real C-64, the title for the first person to enter a shell without crashes is still up for grabs.
