I was really excited about the original claude computer use until I watched the youtube videos and saw it was only running in a docker container. I wish I could run something like this on a real machine.

What makes a docker container not a "real machine"? Docker programs are running natively, just like any other program, without emulation/virtualization. Its not like a virtual machine (unless you're on one of the lesser operating systems like Windows or OSX), its just configuring some settings in the Linux kernel to isolate the process from other processes. Its basically just an enhanced chroot.

Running natively doesn't make it a real machine. If I run iOS Simulator, it also runs natively, but I'm pretty sure it's not a real iPhone ;)

Because I would like to automate programs I use in Windows with files that I actually use, instead of some random linux docker container. I should have used my actual machine instead of a real machine.

Ah, well there's your problem. Your problem isn't docker, nor is it claude, its that you're running Windows.

You can run browser use in your terminal, no need for Docker containers. Just clone it and run it
