From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Aren't Flatpaks containerized? Am I misunderstanding what containerized means, how Flatpaks work, or both?
I guess I meant docker container.
Why do you want a GUI app in a docker container? I tried that with Wine and it had to pluck so many holes in the container to run on Xorg that it made it effectively useless.
You run the gui through a web interface so you have an easy to config sync spot for your server.
How would you do that with a GTK app? With the broadway renderer?
I'm not an expert but I believe guacamole can accomplish the feat.
Interesting, never heard of it before but it looks useful.
I'm a truenas/truecharts admin, and truecharts has a ton of guacamole apps that are kinda neat. Like dark table running in a browser.
