WinBoat is an open-source tool that enables running Windows applications natively on Linux systems through virtualization and containerization. It provides seamless integration with the Linux desktop environment, automated installation processes, filesystem sharing between Windows and Linux, and supports running both individual Windows apps and the full Windows desktop experience. The project is currently in beta and requires KVM virtualization, Docker, and specific system resources to function properly.

TibixDev/winboat: Run Windows apps on 🐧 Linux with ✨ seamless integration

I wonder if this works with games that only run on windows or just native applications for windows smoothly. I only come to windows for gaming and some software tools thats kept from linux or else Id just stick to linux. It would be amazing to have this and be able to leave windows for good.

hell yeah, now work on the other side,
improve wsl performance xd
i bet that actually, is way better to work on a vm linux on windows rather than using WSL

Linux is getting more fixes. The world is healing

Great. If this works perfectly as it being said, I will test it with “work.weixin” APP
