@d6 Did you see @josch trying to build an old Blender version for arm64? It was very hard given the number of dependencies. The moving ecosystem makes this very hard, but maybe that’s exactly why one should do it now? https://community.mnt.re/t/checking-on-blenderability/4234/4
I do think archiving a modern operating system stack is a very big project, maybe something smaller would be feasible.
A fully realized uxnfloppy or an uxn implementation for UEFI would be an interesting project, especially if write/read from multiple USBs is supported, then one can multiply the environment.

@d6 Just saving a list of foundational software projects that refuse to take LLM patches is also a worthwhile endeavor, then one at least knows what one can depend on.

@gustav @d6 I think the blender job would've been easier had I used https://snapshot.debian.org and had given up on trying to make old blender work with libraries of today but accept that it really just should be running in an environment with old libraries from snapshot.debian.org

@gustav Damn an UEFI version of #uxn would be awesome @d6 @josch
