Can we also have docker forward simulation info to a window in the host machine, or is there another way to be able to do ROS with a simulator on an unsupported OS?

The logic flow I was thinking is:

Your OS and arch are...

oh no, there are no available distributions / would you prefer another distro

Based on the available Docker images for ROS for your computer's architecture, here are all the available versions

You know what would be a cool idea? A computer that people could remote into for developing ROS. Like a cloud server

Could wrap EC2 and sell access to fully managed "ROS nodes" as a monetization strategy. It would compete with AWS RoboMaker
