0 Michiyo 28 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 No.. These computers run lua, you're not gonna boot Ubuntu anything on these. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 jhagrid77 4 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Would a person be able to make a program to do this? Or would it have to be like a complete add-on mod? I think it might be a pain either way, but lots of things have been done I never thought possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 Gangsir 14 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I dont think it's actually possible to do this in minecraft, as it would require a full blown virtualisation client built into minecraft. Even if it was something light like linux it would still lag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 jhagrid77 4 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 That is true. Kinda is a share though, although I wonder if it would be possible to create something like linux from source code. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 Gangsir 14 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 That is true. Kinda is a share though, although I wonder if it would be possible to create something like linux from source code. I believe that plan9k (The alternative OS built into OC) is meant to be similar to a Unix-like system. That's really the closest thing to linux that OC has. Of course, re-making linux into a MC mod would require the conversion of C/assembly (The programming language most of the linux kernel is written in) into java so it can execute natively. (Or make ingame computers understand those languages, but then you're running an OS inside of an OS inside of a game inside of an OS. Yo Dawg) Plus you'd likely only be able to include a terminal anyway, as any sort of desktop environment (Even something known to be light like XFCE) would be a bit too much for minecraft to run effectively. That's still a lot of code to convert, plus in the end you'd end up with another computer mod, this time java/C/assembly based. I feel like Lua or perhaps Python is still the best language for a mod like this to use. Anyway, that's my $0.02. Source: Linux hobbyist Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 jhagrid77 4 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Thanks, my only problem with Plan9k is that it's hard to find support and also when ever I go to say /bin some of the .lua and stuff is in the terminal line, plus how the editing is. Other wise I love it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 DarkPikachu 3 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Let's not forget you can modify the OC configuration to load precompiled byte data. (If that helps at all) Warning: enable at your own risk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

0 DarkPikachu 3 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Unless it's recompiled to LUA binary data, but even then, OC computers are still too slow for anything like that... May as well try running Linux on a game boy color Quote Link to post Share on other sites
