Interesting little tidbit for the weekend: we now know what operating system
the Nintendo Switch is running. Since it's basically an NVIDIA Shield, I kind
of expected it to be running Android - heavily modded, of course - but it turns
out it's running something else entirely: it's running FreeBSD. Like Sony,
Nintendo also opts for FreeBSD for its games console. This means of the four
major gaming platforms, two run Windows, and two run FreeBSD. Fascinating.
