        Hi there, I have Debian inside a ChromeOS and I've installed Lomiri.

        From what I understand, Xephyr is needed to start a GUI and indeed it works with Lxde and KDE Plasma.

        I used this script:

        Xephyr -br -fullscreen -resizeable :20 &
                    sleep 5
                    DISPLAY=:20 startlxde &
        [empty_row_here]
        

        And run it. It simply worked with Lxde and Plasma.

        I wonder if it's possible to change this script to make Lomiri start. 🙂

        I guess I might need to make it use Xwayland? And/or use the appropriate command where "startxlxde" is.

          @shishimaru Lomiri runs on Mir as its Wayland compositor. Xephyr as I understand it is an X server. I doubt you can get Lomiri run on it. I'm sure it's technically possible but not easy. XWayland won't help since it's for running X apps on Wayland and not the other way around
