Seeking feedback on my hobby OS project: MemOS
As an example on how to persist Linux/Unix processes check out the Aurora single level store that extends FreeBSD (we also have a paper that outlines the main problems and provides an explanation of the design). Aurora expands an existing OS and prioritizes supporting Unix applications so it looks very different from the microkernel design you are going for, but the problems it solves are intrinsic to making applications persistent.
