Sorry for the late reply - I created a Docker image that should work for this. I can't give you an intro to Docker, but I created the following Docker image which should work with the book: johnnyb61820/linux-x86-assembly
I believe that the main Docker Desktop app works with x86 images. Or, if you prefer Podman, there is a way to get Podman to run them as well.
Let me know if you run into any issues. It has vi, emacs, and nano installed. Also, if you want to learn x86-64 assembly, be sure to check out my new book "
Learn to Program with Assembly". It even has a full assembly listing for modern features such as object oriented programming, try/catch semantics, and garbage collection.
