Linux playground

A real Linux shell in your browser

Start a throwaway machine and run any Linux command: explore the file system, write scripts, inspect processes. Everything is wiped when the session ends.

Start a Linux session

A fresh Debian machine boots in your browser in a few seconds. Run any command; nothing is saved when you leave.

Try a command

  • A real machine

    Debian GNU/Linux on an x86 CPU, with a real shell, a real file system and real processes. Not a scripted demo.

  • Yours alone

    It runs inside your own browser tab. Nobody else can see your session and nothing is sent to a server.

  • Nothing is kept

    Files you create live in a throwaway disk layer that is deleted when you close or restart the session.

  • Offline by design

    The machine has no network access, so it is safe to experiment. Break it, then restart for a clean one.

Powered by CheerpX, a WebAssembly x86 virtualisation engine, with xterm.js as the terminal. The first start downloads a few megabytes of the disk image; it is 32-bit, so a few modern tools are missing.
