What is WebVM Alpine?

WebVM 2.0 brought major improvements to graphical application support, including the ability to boot a complete Alpine desktop environment entirely in the browser. This demo showcases that capability, running a full Linux desktop client-side without any installation.

Design choices

We have settled on using i3, a minimalistic window manager, to ensure the demo is enjoyable by most users — including on mobile devices — without consuming excessive amounts of data. Future improvements in our roadmap will make it practical to run heavier environments like XFCE in upcoming releases.
