"WebVM is a full Linux environment running in the browser, client-side. It is a
complete virtual machine, with support for persistent data storage, networking
and, as of today’s release, Xorg and complete desktop environments. In an
instance of WebVM, everything executes locally within the browser sandbox.
WebVM runs on any modern browser, including mobile ones, thanks to WebAssembly,
HTML5 and CheerpX: a novel x86 virtualization engine for browsers, developed by
us at Leaning Technologies.
The first version of WebVM was released in 2022. Since then, we have been
working relentlessly to improve the technology and it is with great pride that
we are now releasing WebVM 2.0. This new release keeps pushing the boundaries
of what can run on modern browsers, thanks to a vastly improved virtualization
engine, support for Xorg, and a new UX design. Try out our Alpine Linux / Xorg
/ i3 environment now!
WebVM 2.0 is a liberally licensed FOSS project for anyone in the community to
use, modify and improve. This release marks another important milestone in our
vision of running any application in the browser, including those that can’t be
recompiled to WebAssembly."
Very impressive work.
Share and enjoy,
