Open-source developer Joel Severin today announced his work on porting the Linux kernel to WebAssembly and has successffully gotten the kernel up and running within WASM-capable web browsers.

This WebAssembly port of the Linux kernel is up and running basic programs from a shell within a web browser. But there are stability issues and it didn't take me long either to trigger crashes for this Linux kernel WASM port when running within Google Chrome.
