I'd love to see Optane used as the basis for a non-volatile OS. Unfortunately pretty much all our substantial software "needs" to be restarted occasionally, so a non-volatile system is not so practical :(

A non-volatile system doesn't mean nothing can restart, just that everything doesn't have to always restart.
