gollark: <@490656381662396418> There are already decent ones around. You do not have the experience/skills to make another good one and it would be a bit pointless anyway. Instead, you will add another trashy "OS" to the pile of 400 or so existing ones.

gollark: Tape drives can, but not directly from it.

gollark: Probably not *explicitly*, but I assume this is roughly the thinking.
