And that helps me get an Android container running on an actual desktop OS how? That was the question, after all.

Yes it does. Well if you consider gnu/Linux a desktop OS.

The question was how to get it working on a non-ChromeOS device and system, and you provided instructions for ChromeOS. I don't believe they'll work, but hey, I can try it.

On my self-built desktop, running Ubuntu 17.10, the following result happens:

    zsh: command not found: google-chrome-stable

    zsh: command not found: vmc
So, again, how do I get any of this running on an actual desktop OS, on a usual computer?

You just claimed I can, please provide instructions, or please stop trolling.

I think you missed the "Very easy with ChromeOS 67." this doesn't work in any Chrome browser on any OS

I just had a vision of all major OS projects providing developer containers for their projects. Like, you could just pull the latest Firefox dev container and run a single command to have a running debuggable app. I know one of the major pains we have when on-boarding new people is the whole dance to get to that first working build / first meaningful change. I can imagine this being significantly more simple if a wor…

Many OS projects do this with Vagrant.

With ChromeOS 67 you have gnu/Linux and Android in a container. But only on a pixel book at this point.

Parent commenters said that they wanted to do the same thing as OP article but on Fedora instead of on Chrome OS. You responded to them with how to do it on Chrome OS which is not what they were looking for.

It’s like if you asked me “can I develop iOS apps with Chrome OS on my Chromebook?” and I told you “sure, in macOS on your MacBook just ...”.

The question was how to get it working WITHOUT ChromeOS 67, on a normal desktop OS, such as fedora or ubuntu.

Read OP's first line again. Note how it says "on Fedora" without specifying hardware, which last I checked is mutually exclusive with "on ChromeOS and a pixelbook".
