Joel Severin has announced
the availability of his port of the Linux kernel to WebAssembly; one can go
to this page and
watch it boot in a browser.

Wasm is similar to every other arch in Linux, but also
	different. One important difference is that there is no way to
	suspend execution of a task. There is a way around this though:
	Linux supports up to 8k CPUs (or possibly more...). We can just
	spin up a new CPU dedicated to each user task (process/thread) and
	never preempt it
