From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The "advantage" compared to a simple Linux USB is that it saves the exact state of the VM I guess.
Meh, I'd rather open the applications I need again (or let my DE restore them) than running a VM just for that reason.
I was more thinking if it kept evolving it would be like dex but you actually have access to pc hardware when connected to a pc, not just desktop ui when connected to a monitor.
How can DE restore application?
I'm not sure how KDE does it but on X11 it had some form of session restore https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/plasma-desktop/kcontrol/kcmsmserver/index.html
I definitely read "soul"pad and got scifi level delusional
