    I’ve seen builds of the Linux kernel that comfortably fits in my on-die CPU caches.

    So it would just be a picture of an empty sofa.

      There are mid range CPUs with 128MB of L3 cache now. A Linux distro like Tiny Core could fit entirely in cache.

        Tiny Core Linux is a minimal Linux kernel based operating system focusing on providing a base system using BusyBox and FLTK. It was developed by Robert Shingledecker, who was previously the lead developer of Damn Small Linux.
