What's great
WebVM is great! It's very useful to have a Linux environment instantly ready whenever you need it! Whether for quick testing, demo running, or just random experimentation.
The tech behind it is also really cool. The fact that they can just run Binaries in the browser client side feels like a potential game changer in what's possible on the web.
What needs improvement
The WebVM 2.0 Alpine image with the GUI is really cool to see, and it’s impressive that it works at all in the browser. Performance can feel a bit limited at times though. Improving responsiveness would make the experience even smoother.
vs Alternatives
There are other cloud VM platforms, but most of them are essentially a frontend connected to a VM running on their servers. They usually require accounts, setup, and sometimes payment.
