Now I wish I remember where I put my SEGA master system console. Supported HW

Not kidding, I really wish I remember 🙁 not because of Collapse OS, but for the value of that thing.

The last thing you will be considering if civilization collapses is programming micro-controllers!

Yeah my first thought too. But to be fair:

Fromhttps://collapseos.org/why.html

Futile?

This project is only relevant if the collapse is of a specific magnitude. A weak-enough collapse and it’s useless (just a few fabs that close down, a few wars here and there, hunger, disease, but people are nevertheless able to maintain current technology levels). A big enough collapse and it’s even more useless (who needs microcontrollers when you’re running away from cannibals).

But if the collapse magnitude is right, then this project will change the course of our history, which makes it worth trying.

This idea is also fragile because it might not be feasible. It’s difficult to predict post-collapse conditions, so the “self-contained” part might fail and prove useless to many post-collapse communities.

Just because you don't know where you are going doesn't mean any road will get you there.
