Thats because it’s just the kernel without any user space applications yet


How is this different compared to jslinux? Jslinux emulates hardware while the Linux WASM port uses the WASM runtime as a VM without any form of emulation.

Http 3.0 is UDP, ICA these days is also UDP.


Technically true, but parent’s point still stands (even if it should have said “on top of IP”).

Byte streams are not ideal to deal with for protocols. As soon as you have encryption, like tls, you have discrete messages anyway (records) and the stream is largely an illusion.

That said, I still like TCP as a compromise between simplicity and versatility. It’s been holding up incredibly well for a huge variety of use cases.


Yes, but by necessity and only after http/2 attempted everything listed over TCP.


another solution that allows both wayland and x11 applications accessible from the browser (disclaimer: I am the author, it’s also still very much under development) https://github.com/udevbe/greenfield


That’s what I am building, except both native and web apps work seamlessly together: https://www.greenfield.app/ https://github.com/udevbe/greenfield https://twitter.com/FriedChicken/status/1420671685485867014?...


Greenfield is a city in Massachusetts, United States. Just like Wayland.


> Just like Wayland

Oh my god I didn't know that's where that came from! As a mass-hole, that's cool to learn about the origin.

> Greenfield is a city in Massachusetts

Not the first city I'd pick for a project. Maynard, Weston, Wellesley all are near Wayland and seem less connected to existing buzzwords.

Edit: No criticism of the project though, seems pretty cool! Don't want to come off too negative about the name. This is a really cool project, and I can image some fun uses for it in the future.

Weston already exists and is a Wayland compositor. :)


Absolutely, that’s why I am integrating it with kubernetes so each app is locked down and containerised while you as a user don’t even notice it.


There used to be one for about half a year I believe, but I found 280 dollars a month (gpu cloud is crazy expensive) too costly for just a demo.


Not possible, webgl is sandboxed and doesn’t expose the required egl extension. It might be possible if you’d port it to deno and use some native code perhaps(?)


Author here. If you want to know a bit more about the history of greenfield, I’ve written a bit about it on twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/FriedChicken/status/1420671685485...


Does it run games? :)


Not tested but it could although rather slowly as currently the proxy compositor does not expose OpenGL capabilities for doing zero copy application buffer passing. With enough time you could completely integrate it with steam though…
