Tux.io – a Linux Desktop in your browser – second try (tux.io)

Sorry for posting twice in a week, but I had to take the site down half-way through the first ShowHN. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14044541

Try going to https://ca0.tux.io if the European site is too busy due to this ShowHN.

Very nicely done.

Even as a simple private browsing option, it's great.

I encountered difficulty trying to use the terminal when attempting to enter commands. For example if I tried to type 'ls' Firefox captured the #\l and swapped tabs to the left. If I tried to type 'python' Firefox captured the #\h and swapped tabs to the right. If I tried to type 'ruby', Firefox captured the #\u and scrolled the page up.

Unlike just about every other website that captures keypresses with Javascript, this might be one where it has a legitimate reason...at least when the terminal is running.

Good luck.
