              Considering it just exploits the fact that PDFs can execute JavaScript, it’s much more “here is Linux running in JavaScript, containered in a PDF”

                  Video without the “article”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWnN-FA3zRM

                  It’s TinyEMU under the hood:

                  TinyEMU is a system emulator for the RISC-V and x86 architectures. Its purpose is to be small and simple while being complete.

                  It has a javascript version, JSLinux, that’s embedded in the pdf. You can run other OS-es in the browser with that, see link. It has X window support, so it should be possible to run a full GUI operating system in a pdf.

                          Eleven. This OS was released in the time before the war. There never was a Windows Twelve.

                          I would be more impressed if it was written in Postscript.

                        If your not running Linux inside a PDF, inside a browser, inside WSL, inside Windows, inside the Linux version of virtualbox, inside FreeBSD jails, on a Arm System inside a x86 emulator than what are you even doing

                          Wtf…pdfs allow js to execute? Who thought that was a good idea? How about it runs flash too while we’re at it?
