Show HN: Linux Desktops in the Browser

[andoando]

I wanted to try making a better DistroSea with cloud gaming streaming tech, low boot times, and much nicer/modern desktop interfaces. Honestly I expect hackernews to find a ton of issues with it, and I stopped working on the project weeks ago but just want to put it out there instead of letting all my projects hide.

Well this seems like basically a VNC to your running VM, but it's not a unique instance per user. I saw there were already apps open, so I tried opening a new tab and typing something I would recognize on it from my desktop, then opened it on my phone, and sure enough, it was there.

So if you were doing something, and another user logged on, if they get the same session they could just check browser history and see everything you did...

This feels like Browserling (which spins up a remote VM every session) but less secure...

This is a good start, but it needs to be fleshed out much much more. Looks and feels like a proof of concept.

Yeah it is, I am just not sure if its worth doing so. I haven't got much feedback/interest.
