That is a VM, and actually maybe eventually it will be on top of Webassembly, how things are going.

So is WSL on Windows. I wouldn't call Windows "just the web".

There's also nothing stopping me from building and running local desktop GUI software on the VM.

In fact, a VM is better in that I can back up and restore the image easily.

    WSL and other VMs are the Year of Desktop Linux finally coming true, nothing to do with Web.
