Coding agents run well in a Linux VM and you can run Linux in a VM just about anywhere. A coding agent can be bundled with tools in a Docker file, or it can apt-get lots of useful tools if it needs to. They don’t need a desktop or desktop apps. Why go through an accessibility tree when you can make http requests?

So I expect that we will see more and more Linux VM’s. Maybe it will be like Sqlite, ubiquitous but hidden?
