Honours

Liverpool

gollark: It would be sort of possible to port some bits, but it would lose the spirit of PotatOS\™.
gollark: No.
gollark: So what *do* you want it for?
gollark: 2. take a bare-minimum Linux distribution and a CC emulator. Set it up to autologin to the CC emulator with potatOS preinstalled.
gollark: 1. use whatever LuaJIT uses to JIT-compile stuff - obviously a runtime is still needed
