The graphics requirements for Kazeta are bit heavier that I thought at first:

https://github.com/kazetaos/kazeta/wiki/Requirements

So not able to run on cheaply available mini PCs or Intel NUCs, as they don't have enough graphics "oomf" and can't easily have a graphics card added.

Batocera Linux is probably a better fit for older hardware with just Intel or AMD graphics are that included with the CPU.

A Linux distro that is a retro gaming system where you can have games loaded on SD card "cartridges".

Kazeta – Just Play

An OS that brings the console gaming experience of the '90s to modern PC hardware and games: insert cart, power on, play.

Tried converting an older laptop over to #Kazeta this evening. Looked promising but wouldn't boot without shutting off almost immediately.
Dunno if it doesn't meet the specs or what? It is running a nvidia 1070 which is technically older than the 1650 I think.

Sehr coole Idee, aber ich fand es zu CD-Rom Zeiten schon immer doof die CD einzulegeb. Da lieber einen Mini PC im Wohnzimmer auf dem alles schon drauf ist, auch wenn das Caetdridge System vielleicht dazu animiert mehr durch zu spielen 🤔

Also this week, @flwwhtrbt is back looking at another cool, wacky project in Kazeta - a linux distro aimed that aims to bring back a little nostalgia to the gaming ecosystem by allowing players to create SD-based cartridges for their DR--free game collection!

Kazeta: Bringing Back the Joy of the Cartridge Era

Modern gaming is a complicated place. On PC and consoles alike, we’ve grown used to digital storefronts, cloud accounts, patches, launchers, updates, and all the small frictions that stand between buying a game and actually playing it. For many, it’s just ‘how things are now.’ But for Alkazar,
