Your orb now has a [desktop you can see and control](https://ampcode.com/docs/orbs/desktop).

Use the Desktop tab in any orb thread to get a high-resolution interactive Linux desktop.

It's useful for verifying the agent's work when developing for Linux, Android, or the Chrome extension API, or when working with file formats that need to be opened in desktop applications. It's also useful for computer use, CAD, and anytime you just want a desktop in the cloud.
