In case you missed it, the recording of my FOSDEM talk about the most recent OSv enhancements has been just released:
https://video.fosdem.org/2024/ud2208/fosdem-2024-3483-support-dynamically-linked-executables-via-linux-ld-so-and-implement-ena-driver-to-expand-application-of-osv.av1.webm Tune in to learn about how OSv can now run statically linked executables and the dynamic ones via Linux dynamic linker and how I use Xconfig to build a custom kernel of 788K in size that runs an app with only 1.2MB of memory!
