WebVM 2.0 is a new tech that brings full Linux desktops to your browser using CheerpX secure x86 virtualization.

WebVM 2.0 is a groundbreaking technology that allows running a complete Linux desktop environment within a web browser. This is achieved by compiling the Linux kernel, desktop, and applications to WebAssembly, a fast, low-level runtime that can execute natively in the browser.

WebVM 2.0 is a new technology that allows running a full Linux desktop environment within a web browser, powered by WebAssembly. Some key points:

  • It provides a complete Linux OS, including a graphical desktop, applications, and a terminal, all running in the browser.
  • This is achieved by compiling the Linux kernel, desktop environment, and apps to WebAssembly, a fast, low-level runtime that can run on the web.
  • Users can access the Linux desktop and apps directly in the browser, without needing to install anything locally.
  • This unlocks new use cases for cloud-based computing, remote work, and browser-based applications.
  • Key features include seamless file access, remote collaboration, offline mode, and high performance due to WebAssembly.
  • WebVM 2.0 aims to make Linux desktops accessible to a wider audience and enable new web-based computing experiences.

This represents a major advancement in web-based computing, unlocking new use cases for cloud-native applications, remote work, and browser-based experiences that rival native desktop environments. WebVM 2.0 demonstrates the power of WebAssembly to bring powerful, client-side applications to the web platform.

It is a virtualization platform that runs unmodified Linux programs in the browser using the CheerpX engine. It provides a streaming disk backend, private networking via Tailscale, and KMS-based graphics support. Key features include:

  • CheerpX: Efficient x86 to WebAssembly virtualization
  • On-demand disk streaming for large Linux distros
  • Tailscale VPN integration for private internet access
  • Support for graphical apps like a lightweight desktop environment

The goal is to enable secure, browser-based access to development tools, legacy apps, and more. Future plans include Docker container support and expanded graphical capabilities. WebVM is open-source and free for personal use.
