JSLinux is a fascinating project that allows running Linux in the browser using a JavaScript emulator. The ongoing discussion highlights various perspectives and aspirations around this technology, including the possibility of running a NixOS VM directly in the browser, which could revolutionize web services by allowing them to be hosted within browser tabs rather than on physical servers. The conversation draws upon examples from prolific developers in the field, particularly Fabrice Bellard, known for creating tools like FFmpeg and QEMU, whose contributions set a high bar in software development. Some users face challenges with CORS errors when trying to get Linux VMs running, but others find some success with alternative setups. The interest in revisiting JSLinux suggests a demand for improvements and new features, particularly in networking capabilities through technologies like WebAssembly (WASM) and potential POSIX compatibility.
