   @dysfun@social.treehouse.systems a similar misconception is that the nintendo switch runs FreeBSD and/or Android, since it includes license notices for both
   
   however, it does not. it runs Horizon, an OS developed internally at Nintendo, which was first used on the 3DS. Horizon is a cooperatively-multitasked microkernel operating system, and the microkernel servers providing network functionality use some code from FreeBSD's network stack. the microkernel servers providing the compositor and related graphics functions are partly derived from Android in that a heavily modified version of SurfaceFlinger is used, alongside a microkernel server that emulates part of a Unix-like /dev VFS for running the Nvidia proprietary drivers

     @dysfun@social.treehouse.systems the wii did not run freebsd or anything even remotely resembling it. nintendo rolls their own custom operating systems, they just sometimes take networking code from freebsd, like everyone else (including microsoft) does
