Developer Cakehonolulu has successfully ported Linux to the Atari Jaguar, a console that struggled commercially in the 1990s against competitors like the PlayStation and SNES. Despite having only 2 MB of RAM and 8 MB of ROM, the system's 16-bit 68000 processor allows it to support the operating system, provided it is compiled with the -nommu flag.

To achieve the boot, the developer used the "Jerry" DSP chip for its serial port and timer, along with a custom jump to the ROM location. The final setup includes a BusyBox userspace and a graphics driver for the "Tom" chip, which enables a functional on-screen console. The project's source code has been made available via GitHub.
