Ideal OS: Rebooting the Desktop Operating System Experience — josh.earth
Twitter user ekse has graciously translated this blog to Chinese. Thanks! TL;DR: By the end of this essay I hope to convince you of the following facts. First, that modern desktop operating systems are anything but. They are bloated, slow, and layered with legacy cruft that still functions only thanks to Moore's Law. Second, that innovation in desktop operating systems stopped about 15 years ago and the major players are unlikely to heavily invest in them again. And finally, I hope to convince you that we can and should start over from scratch, learning the lessons of the past.
virtual machine
A virtual machine is an implementation of a computer on top of another. An emulator is specifically a virtual machine that simulates a different type of computer that also exists as real hardware. If the "emulated" computer is similar to the one that runs the emulator, the commonly used term is virtualization. Virtual machines that have no real-hardware counterpart (such as the Java Virtual Machine) are usually just called VMs, but their machine languages are usually referred to as bytecode rather than machine code.
