gollark: The actual system logic is mostly offline but it will throw tons of errors when it tries to check for updates and such.
gollark: It *can* run without an internet connection, it just might complain.
gollark: The biggest challenge would probably be making PotatOS *not* just assume internet connectivity; a lot of it assumes it can just randomly fire off HTTP requests.
gollark: Anyway, PotatOS for x86 would also ship with emulated peripherals if I can somehow make that work, for things like modems (would be translated into multicast UDP packets or something), speakers (probably not with the actual MC sound library), and disk drives.
gollark: I see.
