The article discusses the unusual implementation of Linux running within Microsoft Excel, which is primarily a novelty rather than a legitimate functional use. Utilizing a combination of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and a native Windows DLL with a RISC-V emulator, the process merely simulates Linux rather than providing a full operating system experience. The endeavor is described as buggy and impractical, based largely on external elements rather than Excel’s capabilities, reflecting a playful exploration of software limitations rather than serious utility.
Running Linux within Microsoft Excel is more of a novelty than a practical application, relying on external DLLs and VBA for function, rather than native support.
The real magic comes from a native Windows DLL and a RISC-V emulator, used in tandem to simulate Linux operations, despite the inherent limitations.
