Running Linux in Excel: A Fun Hack

A developer successfully ran a Linux system within Microsoft Excel! Using a lightweight emulator called mini-rv32ima, compiled as a DLL, and called via VBA macros, the developer managed to display Linux output directly in Excel cells. While the project is admittedly buggy and the author admits to using an external DLL rather than rewriting the emulator in VBA or Excel formulas, it's a creative and fun experiment showcasing ingenuity and programming skill.
