For quite some time now Linux and FOSS vlogger Nixie Pixel, has been bringing videos about Linux, FOSS, and more to many a thirsty geek. Finally, after a mysterious absence of one year, the vlog darling returns to YouTube.

If you're not familiar with her, she has two channels on YouTube:

NixieDoesLinux, and "OS.ALT. The second of which covers the indie/hacking/geek community, including open source alternatives to operating systems and gaming."

    I don't know either, but I'll mention that I have seen 2600 systems kept maintained and running (with regular maintenance required because of heavy use) well into this century, so I don't find it hard to believe a 26 year old could have grown up with that experience.

    That said, now you've got me curious. Possible, definitely, but a fair bit unlikely.

    Yeah, I realize Atari 2600s didn't all drop dead as soon as the NES arrived on the market, but I'm just pointing out it seems odd that a girl this young would be playing something that old. Honestly, by 1990, the NES was the most popular console in history, and the 2600 was all but forgotten. It's certainly possible she grew up with some parents who had a 2600 or really loved it or something, and who never got a NES or SuperNES or Sega or whatever, but it does make me curious.
