Is it possible to run desktop applications on Google Colaboratory?

I would like to run desktop applications (for debug and research purposes) on a Google Colab notebook. Is that possible?

Solution

  • Check GNU Colab.

    With it you can easily have a whole persistent desktop environment running on top of a Colaboratory VM instance.

    Here's a video demonstration.
