so Puter can be used to display linux apps, that would be displayed side-by-side to native Puter apps. This could be made into a new distro that just loads the Puter env at the beginning (full screen) and uses Puter as a Desktop Environment.

This - having Linux apps available too - can for sure boost Putr adoption. It would be the coolest thing since sliced bread!

@KernelDeimos is a big fan of this!

@ProgrammerIn-wonderland has worked on this concept, not specifically using greenfield (I still want to try that at some point) but using Xorg. This was also with Linux running under v86 (an in-browser x86 emulator that JITs to WASM), and there were performance issues as a result of this. (but... it still worked!)

greenfield I think is a great choice for specifically the use-case you're suggesting. I'm told greenfield is likely to be too slow for the emulator case (was that right Alice? I vaguely recall you said that), but I think this is great for using Puter as the desktop environment and window manager for your host operating system, which it seems like multiple other people are also interested in doing from previous threads here on GitHub.

That is what I said yeah, I fear we wouldn't be able to get a link speed out of the emulator high enough to feed greenfield. I think we are limited to lime 20-30MB/s -- 240mbps, so the bandwidth isn't infinite
