Developer successfully runs Linux on Google Drive

FOSS writes: When it comes to Linux, there are some really cool, sometimes quirky projects (like Hannah Montana Linux) that try to show off what's possible, and that's not a bad thing. Recently, one such quirky effort surfaced: some second-graders trying to beat a friend who booted Linux from NFS. Their efforts got them running Arch Linux on Google Drive. Their final idea involved FUSE (which allows you to run filesystem code in user space). In a developer blog post, it explains that when Linux boots, “the kernel unpacks a temporary filesystem into RAM and has tools to mount the real filesystem. This is very handy. You can mount the FUSE filesystem in this step and boot normally…” Thankfully, Dracut makes it easy to build a custom initramfs. I decided to build this on Arch Linux because it's relatively lightweight and I know how it works. I tested it in an Amazon S3 container and built an EFI image. Then I spent days trying to enable the network… and the adventure continues. (“Is it possible to manually switch root without using special system calls? What if I just chroot?”) After a few more tweaks, “I sat at my computer and stared. It couldn't have been that easy. This was surely sacrilege, and the spirit of Dennis Ritchie should have stopped me, right? No one did, so I carried on…” I created a unified EFI file, dumped it on a USB drive under /BOOT/EFI, inserted it into the old server… and this is my masterpiece. My greatest work. This is the mark I'll leave on this planet long after I'm gone. Cloud-native computing.

This project is silly, but I can think of some less silly uses for it, like booting Linux from SSH, or booting Linux from a Git repository and using gitfs to track all your Git changes, etc. Moderately useful, but the possibilities are endless.

If there's one thing I know about technology, it's the current trend to move everything to the cloud, so we're ready to commercialize this for businesses that want to ditch unreliable hardware storage and move completely to the cloud. If you're interested in true cloud native computing, feel free to request a quote.

Unfortunately I don't know what to do next. Should I install Nix?
