Your explanations are excellent. I think this is exactly what I need and have been needing for the past week, but had to spend the week learning to understand that. I'm excited to try this tomorrow!

Would this work well on a TruNAS scale setup since it also uses docker containers? I’m wanting to have a remote environment to connect to. And would it be possible to connect xrdp via my iphone because I would be likely installing steam and stuff so I can login and enable remote play to do steam link on devices.

Got the image to build. Installed ximg/xlaunch but when we launch xlaunch all we get is a window with a grey background and then the container exits. Any help would be appreciated. So close. Thank you.

Made the same experience about Firefox being slow… but it’s very responsive if I use VNC even YouTube.
A friend told me X11 protocol is limited by default… not sure about this.

Excellent video! What could I do with this Ubuntu in a docker container running on windows? Could anyone please give me some examples? What I imagine, is that I could perform some tests I would need to do on linux or maybe install some program.... I am trying to figure out for what can use it for.
Thank you!!
