“Can I run Linux on it? Or office tools like a word processor?”
Answer This Question

OS: No. This runs the original Commodore 64 BASIC operating system. It is fully compatible with all software and hardware made for the C64 since 1982. Word Processor: Yes. This can run GEOS which is a full office suite made to run on the C64. Disclaimer: The modern public is used to decades of advancements in office suites, so temper your expectations to what would've been possible in the 1980s. However, the new C64 can operate at much higher speeds than the original which will certainly have a positive effect compared to what was possible in the 1980s. However, expect a distraction-free and "pure" computing experience unlike pretty much any modern operating system. I have 2x of this same device, but in the "Founder's Edition" variant.
