🛠️ PanamaKVM – direct-booting Linux from Java 25 via FFM/KVM
Summary
PanamaKVM is an experimental miniVM that boots an x86 Linux kernel and runs an interactive terminal. It is built on top of Java 25 using the Foreign Function and Memory API instead of JNI.
Why it’s interesting
It demonstrates running a direct-booting Linux virtual machine entirely from Java using the FFM API without JNI.
