From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If you're using an Intel chip look into GVT-g and consider running Arch from a VM, that'll be the closest thing to native.
The unfortunate thing about running an Arch container from a Debian host is that you're relying on an older kernel and an older systemd host side and I've found that often causes compatibility problems inside the Arch container. If you are very, very lucky Arch will just work inside the container, but IME that's fairly rare as systemd often has breaking changes over several releases (and Arch tends to be at least several releases ahead of Debian.)
I want to start clear Arch Wayland session on one my ttys and want to Arch have full direct hardware access.
I use latest Linux-libre on my Debian machine and everything works well.
As I mentioned earlier I tried running Archbox. It is basically script to easy set up chroot. The main problem was that compositor couldn't connect to Wayland socket.
