## What it is
Docker images from LinuxServer.io that run a full Linux desktop environment (KDE, XFCE, MATE, i3, etc.) accessible from a web browser, based on Ubuntu, Alpine, Arch, or Fedora. It provides browser-based remote desktop access via KasmVNC with optional RDP support.

## Use cases
- run a Linux desktop in a web browser
- self-host a remote desktop in Docker
- access a full desktop environment from any browser
- give users a sandboxed browser-based Linux workspace
- spin up disposable desktop containers for testing
- replace VNC with a web-based remote desktop

## When to choose
- you want a full Linux desktop accessible via just a browser with no client install
- you need disposable or multi-user desktop containers on a self-hosted server
- you want prebuilt, regularly updated images across multiple distros and desktop environments

## When to avoid
- you need bare-metal or VM performance for graphics-intensive workloads
- you only need a terminal rather than a full desktop (SSH or a terminal container is lighter)
- you cannot run Docker or containers on your host
