Remote Desktop Testing on Linux

Overview

Generic Daytona Linux desktop sandbox driver. It creates (or reuses) a sandbox running an xfce4 desktop streamed over noVNC, and provides the primitives for visual testing of any GUI app: sync code, run shell commands, launch GUI programs on the live desktop, screenshot, record video, and mint a clickable desktop link a teammate can open to drive the app.

When to Use

• Demo or visually verify a GUI app (Electron, browser, native X11) on Linux without a local Linux desktop
• Produce a screenshot + video + clickable live-desktop link for a teammate
• Debug Linux-specific desktop behavior of a cross-platform app
• Run throwaway desktop sessions that are fully disposable (stop with cleanup)

Usage

Run the bundled script with Node from the skill directory:
