Limitations

• It is a bit slow
  • It is fine for running simple programs but as soon as you try to run anything that requires cpu it will slow down immensely because the cpu is emulated by v86
• No Man pages
  • Man pages are to large and are not included.
• No reliable package manager
  • static-get get is good for small programs but is not a functional package manager. It also suffers limitations due to internet. See internet.md
