your booted copy of windows

a linux virtual machine running underneath windows, given some unchanging amount of the windows machine’s resources.

all the rest of your windows processes, so: * games * browsers * etc

at any time, you can just shut down that linux virtual machine, to reclaim the resources you have given to it.

that linux circle would disappear, and your games would have that space back.

that linux circle would not take up as much space as i have drawn it to take up, atleast not when idling.

with an active kasm workspaces session running ( so you are on kasm workspaces on your chromebook doing something ) it might.

yay -S brave-bin

yay is a package manager, and also an aur helper. the AUR ( Arch User Repository ) is a massive database of what are effectively scripts people have made to install programs. It is specific to arch ( the linux distro im using ) and it is very convenient, because it allows for me to install programs that have not been officially built for my linux distro and included in my package manager, as users can build them themeslves, and include the package in the aur.

a package manager is a program which manages your other programs, so on windows this is the settings app or the microsoft store, and on linux, its usually a cli tool, though there are plenty of gui package managers if you need one. package managers search through a database of packages that they receive from a list of sources, and then install whichever ones you ask them to. they also manage your currently installed packages, so if i wanna uninstall something, i would do it through yay aswell.

-S means sync. it is Syncing whatever package i specify onto my system.

the name of the package i want to sync. brave, meaning the brave browser, and bin, meaning binary.

think of this like: when i download brave-bin, im downloading an exe of brave directly.

if i try to download brave, im downloading the code of brave, and using that code to compile to an exe.

when it gets a package name, it takes that package name, and searches the aur for that package - https://aur.archlinux.org/

it also searches the arch official repositories for the package - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Official_repositories

whichever it finds a package named the same thing as what you want on, it installs from, after prompting you to make sure thats right.
