What os does it use? Or is it web based?

[–] yokoshima_hitotsu@alien.top 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It seems neat but I have to ask why? What is the use case scenario of this?

[–] discoshanktank@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I could see this being handy to do personal stuff from a work computer

[–] sowhatidoit@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I think that might be it. Almost like accessing a machine via a browser. Reminds of me Guacamole but I'm still not sure.

More importantly, when do these hosted html desktops develop a common standard on how to implement the apps? There's so many now, and none have a common standard on stuff like data access for example. They also all bringt their own small set of mini applications that aren't very useful.

At least Code has a file system backend implemented for it - but it seems like it's a file system provider specifically implemented for it?

Isn't wasm such thing?

[–] proxracker@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Looks pretty! If you need a alpha tester, contact me. Would try it on proxmox...

[–] violet-crayola@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Wasm?

[–] sowhatidoit@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Pardon my ignorance, would this be comparable to something like Guacamole?

[–] Initial-Repeat9146@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

This is really responsive, do you have a github link so we can try to self-host this?

[–] Dev-N-Danger@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Curious. It says I was added to the waitlist however I didn’t add any information.

Also if you’re looking for tester I’m interested

[–] highedutechsup@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Can I install Steam on it?

[–] MeYaj1111@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (3 children)

How did I just sign up for the waitlist without logging in to anything and without giving my email? I just clicked 1 button and it said I'll be notified lol

[–] CatsAreGods@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Me too! Either it's sentient and already spying on us or someone forgot an important step :)

[–] liveyourdreamsmax@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

IT KNOWS

[–] EddyD2@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Can you link the site?

[–] kmisterk@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Thank you for your share!

For future reference, we ask that you create a text post with the link to the blog in the body of the text, and a few sentences on why it's relevant to the community.

We look forward to future content.

Cheers,

/r/selfhosted

Like others, I clicked the button to join the waitlist but was never asked for an email or anything.

[–] Fresh_Feesh@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Can it run Doom?

[–] h07d0q@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Yes!

[–] angerofmars@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

OP might get offended you had to ask that
https://puter.com/app/doom

[–] SardonicLesbian27@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

[–] MonkAndCanatella@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

That's a gorgeous design! Absolutely beautiful work!

[–] v3d@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Looks cool, but one thing is weird... I want to get notified but via email but I never got the chance to input the email and it just says it will update me via notification (which I never allowed in the browser). How so?

[–] Sacrome@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Looking very cool and it’s super responsive!

[–] festro33@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Looks interesting is there an explanation as to what it is?, from what I can see from the title and link it looks like a web-based OS, is there any documentation to look at?

[–] Cybasura@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Fancy

But is it open source?

[–] DistantRefaktor@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (3 children)

What is this for exactly? I see a bunch of low end web apps and even worse phone games. Am I missing something?

[–] FabsudNalteb@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

No. People wasting their valuable time building things very little people need.

[–] flossraptor@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

It's notepad with extra steps.

[–] DapperProspectus@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I also want to know about it!

[–] samsquanch2000@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

just stand up your own Kasm server

[–] myFartFingers@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I have exactly zero use for this, but I'm way excited to try it out. Looks great!

[–] Orashgle@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I would recommend Neko. https://neko.m1k1o.net/#/

[–] walterblackkk@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Can it detect running services on the remote machine? For example Plex or Jellfin.

[–] neumaticc@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

get off my 'puter

[–] touwtje@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Looks cool, when?
