https://www.winboat.app/In comparison to other ways to launch Windows Apps in Linux, it's supposed to be the one-stop solution for all non-gaming software.Their goal is all the same anyway: "Get people away from the Stained Glass towards where the Penguins live.Have you used it? If so, what's your verdict?

>>106537938Why are loonix tards so obsessed with running windows on linux. lmao
>>106537938>"In comparison to other ways to launch Windows Apps"Have linuxoids tried launching Windows apps in, say, Windows? Linux, much like a tranny, tries so hard to be something else and fails spectacularly.
>wine wrapper #9,692,557
>>106537938>inb4 it's just some RDP bullshit on a Windows Serverwhy?
>>106537938Looking Glass is the best way to achieve this, but you need to have 2 GPUs to run it.
>>106538216This.No one cares, we only want things like Office, Power BI, VS and etc to work.Gaming on Linux is extremely well on games that are not malware-like.
>>106538169thats the only way they can get something done on their computers.
>>106537938Its literally just Windows running in a VM (qemu), and steaming the application (windows) to the host in an attempt to be "native" and "transparent".Its VMware Workstation seamless mode
>>106538169There is value in creating an open-source replacement for the Windows APIs, which are obtusely made on purpose to keep people locked into Windows.
>>106537938>Running in a VMDefeats the purpose.
>>106538546NTA, I agree with you but thats not at all what this is
>>106537938>In comparison to other ways to launch Windows Apps in Linux, it's supposed to be the one-stop solution for all non-gaming software.do you mean "in contrast to" ?
>Linuxtrannies think that Windows is too slow and has too much bloatware, so they just run Windows in a virtual machine and use hacky electronjeet shitware to cut the program's window out of Windows and put it in Linuxamazing how far they will go to claim they're still a Linux user even though nothing works on linux and they need to literally run windows on linux to get anything done
>>106538516you mean freetard cope #3242253253543?
>>106538608No, since seemless mode was ripped out of VMware Workstation about 5 years ago so it would be nice to see a replacement for the functionality. I'm just pointing out that its nothing actually new or special. People are treating this like it's a new way to run Windows, or that it's wine, when its neither.
>>106538216It's actually a virtual machine lol>WinBoat is an Electron app which allows you to run Windows apps on Linux using a containerized approach. Windows runs as a VM inside a Docker container, we communicate with it using the WinBoat Guest Server to retrieve data we need from Windows. For compositing applications as native OS-level windows, we use FreeRDP together with Windows's RemoteApp protocol.
>>106539077My boyfriend is right, software development is completely cancerous now.
>>106538638but it's NOT seamless mode it's another buggy COPE
>>106539368Of course its not, because its not VMware Workstation you retard. Its just the closest analog to compare with. You're trying way too hard.
>>106539382no it's a COPE you don't even get gpu acceleration unless you buy TWO
>>106539457Anon, its target is for desktop apps, like Office, not for games. And of course it doesn't have GPU acceleration, it runs in qemu. Are you fucking stupid?
More like WinBloat
>>106537938buy an ad
>>106537938I just want to do all of this shit from the command line, install and manage multiple versions of wine and set environments i can launch some apps from. A virtual machine is annoying and overkill. Also>windows 11Defeats the point, W11 runs like shit on VMs.
>>106539485QEMU can hardware accelerate Windows guest but the process is annoying as fuck and requires two discrete GPUs (though an igpu + card combo works). You can thank Nvidia for that.
>>106539485>more copinglol
>>106537938>packages up the hard work of others>designs a logo
>>106537938I literally just add windows programs to steam as a non-steam "game" and run them through proton. I wish the sumatra pdf guy would port his shit to Linux already
