From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I assume this will be prohibitively expensive (I really can't shell out any more than £60 and that's pushing it already), and probably impossible to get my hands on.
But if it's affordable and actually available? Hell yeah, this thing looks fantastic. I love that we're making something awesome here in the UK and sharing it with the world.
Will we finally be able to run N64 games on this hardware, do you think?
N64 could be done before with overclocking by the looks of it, so this should handle it as a baseline.
Although nothing really gets you over the "our games are in 3D and we don't really know what we're doing" jank of the PS1 and N64 era.
Considering single core performance was the main thing holding it back previously. There is a good chance Nintendo 64 emulation should be better. Other Arm based SBC have been able to do it relatively easily for a while.
