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

I can’t be the only one.

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.

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.

Same but then I saw "only 2 GB image"

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.

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.

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.

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

That's what I thought too at first

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

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

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".

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

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

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

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

Yeah, very bad name.

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

The authors name is Anduin

my day is ruined...

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

ROFL. Yes. count me in
