# imxieyi/Kernarium

> An emulator that runs a real Linux kernel natively on iOS via User-mode Linux: the kernel is compiled for arm64 while userspace code is emulated by a threaded interpreter, with GPU acceleration through Vulkan/Metal. Suited for running Linux distros, Docker and Android on iPhone/iPad.

## Useful for

- Run a Linux distro with Docker containers on an iPhone
- Build an Android image and run it in Andarium on an iOS device
- Embed the Kernarium runtime into a custom iOS app

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-14 (UTC), 00:04–11:15: 428 → 441 stars (+13). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +25 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Interest is fading: the two-day pace is 29% of the previous 5 days.
- The repository is 7 days old and already has 441 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- About 6 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 52
- Issues and pull requests: 20
- Watchers: 4
- Average over the last week: 66 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 2
- Latest release: 1.0b9-beta (2026-11-11)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
