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
You need a special compiler for it? I thought it's riscv? Doesn't gcc suffice?
No, the compiler transforms code into Terraria building blocks
That would be a job for the assembler, not the compiler.
