Replacing Linux with a Database System

I don't recall where I read it, but I've came across a concept to where the computer, then kernel, simply load your application and everything runs in this user or application space which takes all memory and resources to itself.

I mean, every ”rescue disc” that loads its own shell instead of an OS works this way. Plenty of software in the DOS days loaded right off a floppy. Not to mention that DOS software worked pretty close to the metal in the first place.

I think I've also seen rescue discs that use DOS for initialization but then the software takes over so that when you exit it just reboots the computer instead of dropping you to the shell.

Sounds like the talk "The Thirty Million Line Problem" by Handmade Hero creator Casey Muratori: https://guide.handmadehero.org/misc/30mlocp/
