From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Its just an idea I had. To virtualize my general computing environment for day to day that does not need a lot of resources generally. So the idea is it would be great to run it on my laptop but like move it to a cloud provider when traveling and travel with a laptop that has nothing personal and then interacting remotely. So a combo of easy change of hardware combined with travel without personal info.
What about containers with desktop, e.g. https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-firefox/ or another from https://www.linuxserver.io/our-images (based on Guacamole https://guacamole.apache.org/ AFAICT) with a mounted WebDAV (via e.g. NextCloud) for data?
this looks sorta nice and im checking it out.
Neat, let me know if you have questions or idea.
I did set these up a little while ago but I don't have an on-going setting so I'd be happy to help and curious to see if something new can come out of those ideas.
