So, as is, a real C64 should be able to boot Linux within a week or so.
This made me laugh! But as an avid vintage computing fan, I applaud this effort.
I wonder if it runs common programs such as vim.
Vim needs to be compiled to 6502 or you need to implememt an x86 emulator (not sure if it could run at all on a CPU that limited)
An x86 emulator could in theory be implemented in a Commodore 64, given that it's a Turing-complete machine. Would it be practical, though? Hardly.
The post refers to a RISC-V emulator for C64. The Linux kernel booted is RISC-V, so you'd be vim for the same.
