QEMU on chromeOS without container

[The Mariocrafter]

Can you make a way to install QEMU directly on chromeOS or termina? I want the ability to run any container I want, with the exact same GUI as Linux QEMU.

there is no way to run QEMU outside of crosvm (termina).  that would be a big violation of security boundaries, and i don't see us ever supporting that.  the entire reason we wrote crosvm is because QEMU is too big/insecure.

you can run QEMU inside of a container:

If you are only looking for a Linux Desktop, you can just install gnome inside of your Linux container and use a nested Wayland session to simulate a desktop

First run 

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y gnome-shell

This will take a while depending on your Chromebook and internet speed

Once you are done, you just need to run the command below to start the desktop.

env MUTTER_DEBUG_DUMMY_MODE_SPECS=1920x1080 dbus-run-session -- gnome-shell --nested --wayland
