How to use this VM as a normal computer so I can try something actually productive instead of only being able to ask it to navigate firefox for temperatures and weather and put it in an excel file?

Ok, nice, I managed to run the demo, but I can't do anything beside the basic programs

I needed to install either chrome/edge with some extension but it's a nightmare.

I downloaded chrome and edge and installed

sudo dpkg -i yourfile.deb (already threw errors)
sudo apt-get install -f

Then

EVERY browser extensions store crash immediately:
Chrome Web Store
Firefox Add-Ons store
Microsoft Edge Add-ons

or

I then proceeded to disable hardware acceleration since I've seen it causes more trouble then else in these kind of environments but the situation improved only by a very little.

and navigating produces any kind of error

and

about the posix error I found this

and you basically can't stream any video or do anything.

based on this
doing

sudo apt-get install dbus-x11
sudo service dbus start

at least helped with streaming content like youtube or such

Is there a way to make this VM/example functional?
You can't even browse or install extensions.....

To me it's also acceptable to be able to run the sample locally instead of a VM, but like this is utterly useless and I wasted a couple of bucks to run a sample

I run it root with full access on my linux second boot and it works amazing with a few changes but it is totally possible just unsafe. You can install chrome in the docker container using the AI to download it and than running it with google-chrome --no-sandbox.

I'm sure you could install anything you would want in the container but for me running it in a real linux ubuntu with root is the best way to do anything with it. I could share how I set it all up but I'm not sure if I could just post that here since it could be considered unsafe if you dont understand the risk.

Please please please, share this, or make a private repo explaining the process (and invite me, please)
I really need it.
I work in IT as a dev and consultant and also do some cybersec work so I know the implications and the risks. Would you be able to share it in a private repo if not publicly here?

I made a guide I tried to make it as detailed as I could. If you need help I can help you or your team set it up or get through any errors.

Here is my unsupported method.

I did have timeout terminal issues with my set up and I tried to make an issue report for them to fix it but it was ignored so if you have any timeout issues which will show as 120 second terminal timeout I posted the fix but honestly the best way is ask me I have made this setup work literally perfect with no errors AT ALL. I wish they would answer my issue report and request a pull and edit but either way.
