I made it half way down the page before I realized this wasn’t “ArduinOS”.

I can’t be the only one.

[dcminter]

Same. Now, however: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44955159

Thanks. That's what I was hoping this was as I also mis-read it.

[spcebar]

Presumably a reference to the river in Lord of the Rings or the WoW character, though the relation to either is somewhat lost on me. It is a cool name though.

Edit: or I'm dumb and the author's name is Anduin.

[horizion2025]

Same but then I saw "only 2 GB image"

[cnst]

At first I thought it must have been a typo…

Some of them are powerful enough that they could probably run a full desktop Linux comfortably.

[shakna]

The Uno can also run it uncomfortably [0].

Yeah, I clicked expecting it to be some madman who made a multitasking kernel for Arduino. What I actually got wasn't nearly as exciting.

[mrheosuper]

Arduino is just a fancy HAL that hobbyists like to use. So yeah nothing about it prevent you writting kernel.

In fact, the arduino port on esp32 is just a task of FreeRTOS, a multitasking kernel.

Even after reading this comment I looked back because I really didn’t know what you were talking about, and only after reading the comment about “Anduin” did I realize there was no r in the name. Crazy.

[tiagod]

I was confused for a lot longer than I am willing to admit.

[Saris]

That's what I thought too at first

[tines]

That’s some mentally-induced bad keming right there.

[throwup238]

I think it's more of a parafoveal processing effect in contextual word recognition.

[AbraKdabra]

I mean, it can be worse, I read the title and thought "an OS by Anduin Wrynn to help us remove that sword from Silithus".

[tyre]

“Why do I have this horde of zombie processes?”

[teekert]

First thought: Wow someone is running a full DE on an Arduino! How cool!!

[atoav]

"An operating system for Arduino boards?" — my first thought.

[bdcravens]

I saw the spelling, and assumed it was Android on an Arduino.

[kwanbix]

Yeah, very bad name.

[pjmlp]

Nope, also on the same boat, quite an unfortunate name.

[j45]

The authors name is Anduin

[lucyjojo]

my day is ruined...

"Hey they're doing a micropyth- oh.."

[FpUser]

ROFL. Yes. count me in
