@gsuberland@elsactivitypub@mudkip if someone booted Linux on a 4004, I'm pretty sure we can get a PIC to do it. But just because we can, does that mean we should? (The not so mad scientist mantra)
I grew up next to a pile of 4004 systems... A kilobyte was a lot of ram back then, and these system's code was in ROM. It's hard to imagine them outperforming a good Turing machine ð
