nign··on Ginux: A New Kernel Runs Linux Userspace, Made via Human-Directed AI Engineering
Okay I made this comment based on the title, assuming it meant a sort of "reimplementation" of the linux kernel running in userspace, similar to gvisor (an application kernel).

But that does not in fact seem to be what this is. In fact I can discern no architectural decisions that would differentiate this from Linux in any way. So what is it? We vibecoded an OPEN SOURCE piece of software??? Genuinely so confused by this...

Ever heard of gvisor...?

This paper is from 2016. Signal's UX has improved massively in many ways since this was published.

This never really worked for me. It would start a backup, very slowly send over a tiny amount of preliminary data, and then fail after several hours. I'm hoping the in-kernel support will get this working for me, but who knows...

Doing this on GrapheneOS's built in Vanadium browser, I am concerned to see that the ID remains the same if I move to incognito tabs, or even a private space. Or perhaps Vanadium is doing such a magnificent job of reporting generic info that this ID would be the same for anyone using Vanadium on my model of Pixel, but I don't think so, since the site says it has a "clean read" on all the info it takes. I really do not know. Curious what other Graphene/Vanadium users are seeing.

So many people in these comments talking about this project like it's pitching itself as a ready to go replacement for MacOS... why are you expecting screenshots, this is a tiny project of ambitious scale that is only 5 years old. What they have achieved is brilliant.
