doinker/gnucolab

A persistent Google Colab notebook that lets you run a full GNU desktop.

GNU Colab

In here we set an environment in which you can persistently run desktop programs.

This notebook lets you run desktop programs on colab machines drawn on your local terminal through VNC.

To be more precise, this notebook sets up a regular remote personal computer, with users and configurations preserved even when the machine turns off.

Actually, an instance on which this notebook has been run has become capable of editing itself, so you can even use it to avoid having machines dying of idling.

At this moment, the notebook is pre-configured to run either MATE or XFCE.
