AnuraOS — web based OS that uses a wasm emulator to give you a real linux system, running entirely in your browser (github.com)

I couldn't get any of the OS images to load on any of the browsers I tested, but they loaded for other people I tested it with. I think I'm just unlucky.

Linux emulation isn't too polished.

coming up next: anuriaOS, for when your kidneys stop working

People have been reviving old hardware with Linux for decades now. Next step is to revive old organs too. If your kidneys aren’t good enough for their original purpose anymore, perhaps you can run Linux on them and give them a second life.

our distro follows the PISS ideology. it's a recursive acronym for PISS It Simple, Stupid

Yeah, that's what this uses. But copy's x86 emulator on their site does not have any sort of networking, while anura seems to use some kind of http proxy to have the vm be fully networked.

You can even install packages and run graphical apps in anura. (Very, very, very slowly).

It has a proxy that allows networking. In the library itself there is now support for a total of 3 back ends
