Monogon: A Linux userland in pure Go
It looks similar to u-root https://github.com/u-root/u-root, yes, used as part of host firmware. There's a description of u-root in chapter 6 of https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4842-7939-7, too.

Gokrazy – Go Appliances
"A fully Go userland with Linux bootloaders! u-root can create a one-binary root file system (initramfs) containing a busybox-like set of tools written in Go." https://github.com/u-root/u-root

Is it possible to install a linux specific package on osx?
I am trying to build something with github.com/u-root/u-root/pkg/strace, but the issue I am running into is that my dev environment is an ARM Mac, while the package is specific to Unix systems.

Coreutils Rewritten in Rust
I've seem a few attempts. This is just one example: https://github.com/u-root/u-root/tree/master/cmds/core
- u-root – many Linux tools in a single Golang binary, initramfs, and bootloader

Writing an init with Go (part 1)
Great material! This approach is also used in u-root - Golang busybox created for LinuxBoot. I really enjoy working with it so far!

Go: What We Got Right, What We Got Wrong
Not sure these are really popular, but I cannot resist advertising a few utilities written in Go that I regularly use in my daily workflow:
- gdu: a NCDU clone, much faster on SSD mounts [1]
- duf: a `df` clone with a nicer interface [2]
- massren: a `vidir` clone (simpler to use but with fewer options) [3]
- gotop: a `top` clone [4]
- micro: a nice TUI editor [5]
Building this kind of tools in Go makes sense, as the executables are statically compiled and are thus easy to install on remote servers.

PPA or not to PPA
Otherwise the last option is to get the deb/appimage files from their official git repos or website, like for my use cases, MongoDB Compass (which was not officially maintained on flatpak) or duf (not available in Ubuntu repos)
