I made a thing... I wanted to try out some of the cool stuff that came out of Microsoft Build 2026. Azure Linux "Desktop" is a small Windows app that boots a full Linux desktop in a window. It opens, starts an embedded Linux container, and a few seconds later you are looking at a themed XFCE desktop running on Azure Linux 4.0, with working audio, GPU acceleration, copy and paste, and a display that resizes with the window. No buttons, no setup wizard, no terminal. You launch the app and you are.
