Technically, it's based on the brilliant https://github.com/copy/v86, an emulator for x86 CPUs that compiles machine instructions to WebAssembly! 🤯
I built a 25 MB Linux image using https://buildroot.org (it even includes Git!) And I also feed the state of the booted VM to the emulator (another 25 MB), allowing it to start reasonably quickly. Still would love to speed that up, though!

You can play around with the source code here: https://github.com/blinry/linux-puzzles I tried to make the README and the comments in the main JavaScript file as helpful as possible! Thanks to @EdJoPaTo@chaos.social, @zormit@chaos.social, @piko@chaos.social, @_sohalt@chaos.social and @b0rk@social.jvns.ca for beta-testing! :)

@blinry@chaos.social What is the difference with https://bellard.org/jslinux/ ? (By the brilliant coder Fabrice Bellard, author of ffmpeg and Qemu).
