I would expect it would boot and work fine. Drivers is where most hobby OSes fall down. Your sound card might not work. Or your USB chipset etc. And hobby OSes like this often do a lot of things in software that are available in hardware, which ruins their performance.
- userbinator 4y agoIt has drivers for Intel HD Audio, which has been a standard for over a decade now, and of course USB 1.x and 2.x (EHCI). No USB 3 (XHCI) however.
- vintermann 4y agoThing is, everything runs on hypervisors these days anyway. It already has to virtualize your sound card, your USB chipset etc.
- Underphil 4y agoWhat do you mean when you say 'everything runs on hypervisors'? That may be true in the datacentre and the cloud.
- vintermann 4y agoWell, it's of course a slight exaggeration, but our desktop computers have had hardware support for virtualization for a long time now. Even our GPUs are getting hardware support for virtualization. Does it really have to be a problem any more that "your operating system has no drivers for this thing"?
- Underphil 4y agoYeah, fair point. It's less and less relevant for sure. But something like this lives in the hobbyist space where (I think) bare metal is still king.
