Wtf...pdfs allow js to execute? Who thought that was a good idea? How about it runs flash too while we're at it?

If your not running Linux inside a PDF, inside a browser, inside WSL, inside Windows, inside the Linux version of virtualbox, inside FreeBSD jails, on a Arm System inside a x86 emulator than what are you even doing
BUT CAN IT RUN DOOM?
You missed last week's news.
for people out of the loop, unironically this

Not even last week’s
Considering it just exploits the fact that PDFs can execute JavaScript, it's much more "here is Linux running in JavaScript, containered in a PDF"

It's TinyEMU under the hood:
TinyEMU is a system emulator for the RISC-V and x86 architectures. Its purpose is to be small and simple while being complete.
It has a javascript version, JSLinux, that's embedded in the pdf. You can run other OS-es in the browser with that, see link. It has X window support, so it should be possible to run a full GUI operating system in a pdf.
I would be more impressed if it was written in Postscript.

Eleven. This OS was released in the time before the war. There never was a Windows Twelve.
