Why we compiled real Linux to WebAssembly
The one decision underneath brintOS: treating WebAssembly as a real CPU architecture and co-developing HardwareJS with a matching arch/wasm32 kernel — WASM instances as the MMU, preemption without a timer interrupt, and a vmlinux beside every process. Plus why it beats the five common alternatives, and why fast Linux-on-WASM commoditizes the desktop OS.
