A browser-hosted Debian riscv64 system boots into KDE Plasma, with a terminal, file manager, package installs, audio and GPU drawing.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-14 issue.

For: People who want to try a Linux desktop without installing one
Worth noticing: The Debian riscv64 disk is fetched in 1 MiB pieces as needed; files and changes stay in browser storage.

Field notes

The implementation combines a Linux kernel built for WebAssembly with a JIT for Debian’s unmodified riscv64 programs; the Plasma shell bypasses that emulation. Disk data arrives in 1 MiB pieces, and the page says the home folder and changes remain in browser storage. It also documents practical limits: Chrome only, no systemd or fork(), and slower execution for programs running under the JIT.
