As another commenter pointed out this is similar to our WebVM (https://webvm.io) , although this one is based on v86 so it will be less performant.

Although the x86 virtualization angle is powerful we think that native WebAssembly executables on top of a Linux-compatible kernel are more viable for the execution of full workloads in the browser.

BrowserPod is a newer project of ours that brings to vision to life, we have recently published a deep dive that might be interesting: https://labs.leaningtech.com/blog/browserpod-deep-dive

i like your work. i am also experimenting with a native webassembly linux core and the performance is incredible. i just had enormous trouble and work compiling packages for the wasm32-linux target. it would be a nice community effort to compile the open source world to this architecture. the browser tab as clean, secure, multi-platform and polyglot abstraction layer.
