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!

Considerations for a long-running Raspberry Pi
Switching to gokrazy[0] was the best thing I did for my Raspberry Pi uptimes. I think a lot of that is because it defaults to using read-only partitions so the common issue of SD cards falling over when you run apt upgrade no longer happens.
But I also think that gokrazy's simplicity and design helps it be just a solid, reliable foundation to build on top of.

Easylkb: Easy Linux Kernel Builder
The idea there sounds a lot like https://gokrazy.org/, which builds a minimal go userland, wrapping one or more user provided go applications, and bundles in a linux kernel.
Targets mostly at single board computers, and I think it downloads pre-built kernels (and bootloaters if needed), rather than trying to build them directly, since getting a working cross compilation toolchain set up and plumbed into the kernel compilation process is still a pain.
I've personally only used yocto/open-embedded for that which does nicely handle building the cross-compilation toolchain, kernel image, and modules. But it is kinda overkill for that task, being designed to build a whole userland too.

Userspace isn't slow, some kernel interfaces are
Fun! We have support for running on gokrazy (https://gokrazy.org/) already, and that's probably where Unikernel Linux is more applicable for us, for when people just want a "Tailscale appliance" image.
I'll email you.
