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.

They say it's riscv, but also can run parts of windows? Since when can Windows run on RiscV? Do they mean via Wine?
I saw the original author's video and it didn't say anything about running Windows or Linux, hell in fact the "computer" was taking 40s to process a single step from Conway's Game of Life.
The author said that he had developed a compiler for the computer so maybe someone developed a Linux/Windows thing for it? Doubt it tho
I think whoever wrote this article mistook the fact the project itself is only fully supported on Linux, but possibly can run on Windows with use of the WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). These are system requirements for the host PC, not the in-game computer. Good luck running modern linux or windows on 96kb of ram.
