Anyone have more info on this? Does it run systemd in those containers (I didn't see any systemd specific mounts).

This would be interesting to try out, as docker (via compose) is a bit easier to manage than - for example - VMs with virt-manager/cockpit-machines.

No systemd, these just start a shell script on init that launches the WM. They're based around the open-source component of this product: https://www.kasmweb.com/docs/latest/index.html

I find that they are slightly more sluggish than Moonlight/Sunshine for remote streaming, but generally faster/better than x11vnc. Not quite good enough for gaming yet, but plenty for web browsing, Blender, etc.

Selkies should be generally acceptable for gaming, provided that you go through a bit of the WebRTC setup.

It's possible to use tini, supervisord, dumb-init, and other init 1 services for containers. Bit of a heavy workaround to make it work with desktop environments, but works.
