Thanks, looks cool. XFCE is an excellent choice. It's also my daily driver.

Could you shed light on ab actual use case for this? I think I'm not seeing the elephant in the room here. Personally, quick desktop VMs would be perfect for remote work, kiosks, gui integration tests, and various showcases.

What am I missing here?

I had to dig around the docs but here is what I understand:

AI generates code that will perform "zip all files", but that could be dangerous because "rm -rf *" running on employee laptop is a risk, thus create this disposable desktop for AI to connect and manage, build the code, run the code, then evaluate results, and then destroy the instance.

I personally like it and think every laptop needs to have a read only OS with disposable desktops running for each app. Why does my Outlook need to live in the same world as my IDE?

Soon Outlook won't - it's taking after the Android app they purchased some years back and running in azure and only doing presentation client side via webview2.
I don't understand your logic. Zip and rm are different commands or functions.

However, I understand this could be an easy way of doing Qubes OS without Qubes OS.
