A set of scripts and patches that build a Linux kernel with a WebAssembly architecture port, runnable in the browser. It combines LLVM toolchain patches, a fake-llvm wrapper, and kernel patches to boot Linux 7.0 as wasm32/wasm64 with BusyBox userland.
Use cases
- run linux in the browser via webassembly
- boot a linux kernel compiled to wasm
- experiment with a wasm arch port of the linux kernel
- try shell commands in a browser-based linux demo
- build a linux/wasm operating system from source
When to choose
- you want to run or hack on a Linux kernel port targeting WebAssembly
- you need a proof-of-concept browser-based Linux environment
- you're researching Wasm as a compilation target for OS-level software
When to avoid
- you need a stable or secure system for real workloads
- you need virtio, device tree, MMU, or ELF support
- you want a production-ready browser Linux sandbox
