In a surprising development, the Atari Jaguar, a console released in 1993, is now capable of running Linux. This marks a significant achievement for enthusiasts and developers interested in retro computing.
The Jaguar operates using a NOMMU Linux kernel, which is designed for systems without memory management units. This allows the console to run a lightweight BusyBox shell directly from its cartridge ROM.
This project highlights the versatility of Linux and its ability to adapt to various hardware, even those with very limited resources like the Jaguar's 2 MB of RAM.
