I'm here if you guys have any questions.

Interesting idea, can you tell how it works from performance side (RAM/CPU/SSD usage)?

There is no performance cost. It boots your rootfs/kernerl/initramfs natively.

As for SSD usage, your rootfs will never be written to (read only with tmpfs overlay), only reads. You can mount partitions normally with fstab, which can be on SSD, or w/e drive you'd like.

Thanks for the answer.
