	It is interesting apparently because it is supposed to be a 
retro-styled Linux with the ability ot look like the computers that
used be.  This sort of stuff should be addressed by the use of various
emulators on Linux or a distribution like "2022-03-20 	Distribution 
Release: Lakka 4.0" which turns a modern small computer into a console
for old games. Lakka has a checksum.

	I mentioned that a skilled person could extract the "Hot Dog Linux" 
themes for other use.  Maybe I was wrong about that.

	I am no good at games other than Patience or maybe Monopoly.
I played games on the Amiga but that was not why I was using a computer.
Even Angband a turn-based dungeon crawl while I spent a lot of time with 
it was finally be finally beyond my capability.
