This looks great; Congrats, Paul!

I'm curious if this can be used to stream an entire X11 Linux desktop to the browser?

Yep! (It's annoyingly nontrivial to do with gpu acceleration, but we'll have a guide out as soon as we figure it out)

That's excellent! I'm looking forward to seeing that. I'm curious how the "pixel-streaming" works in terms of what protocol is used and what technologies are used on the browser-side.

Thank you, interesting talk! I'm curious if the technologies used for streaming video games (e.g. something like moonlight) can be used for low-latency and high-fidelity streaming of applications or desktops within containers.
