#2This looks cool, nice work. I was briefly trying to work on a "cloud desktop" system at one point but found it too much trouble to get it working properly.

This is an odd thing to say. Can't I already run many graphical applications on a single kernel even without docker containers? And wouldn't that be even more lightweight?

I think what is written between the lines is that they compare it to full OS virtualization. That need for that results from the desire to isolate multiple users from each other.

#4On mobile it says:
ABC + docker = Vnc + x1
Docker wraps to the next line. Very confusing

#5What is the performance like? I’ve found that VNC is garbage even in on a fast local network, let alone over the internet. I’ve yet to find something that works anywhere close to as well as Microsoft RDP, which feels like sitting in front of a local machine as long as you don’t try watching HD video or something.

A good VNC client should give you responsiveness on par of RDP. VNC tunnel through web socket to a client running in a browser window may push it to the annoying zone though.

What’s a good vnc client and server that actually pulls this off? I’ve never had any luck with it either. At least not on Ubuntu.

The correct link is https://demo.abcdesktop.io/
The way it's written, but it seems that the hyperlink that's bound to the written link is different (https://www.abcdesktop.io/demo).
