    It’s a net twenty, your biological mother transitions you now have 6 dads. You are being carried on your palanquin down the aisle. One of your dads almost slips on one of the rose petals, but otherwise everything is exactly like you hoped for. You look to your groom/bride, they smile at you. Just as you are being slowly put down, you notice something is off. Do you roll for perception or ignore it?



  • From their FAQ

    With WinApps you do the bulk of the setup manually, and there’s no cohesive interface to bring it all together. There’s a basic TUI, a taskbar widget, and some CLI commands for you to play with.

    WinBoat does all the setup once you have the pre-requisites installed, displays everything worth seeing in a neat interface for you, and acts like a complete experience. No need to mess with configuration files, no need to memorize a dozen CLI commands, it just works.



  • We have Wine / Proton of course and they can run a lot, but not everything is possible. WinBoat is different. Instead of running compatibility layers, it runs a real copy of Windows using Docker and KVM under the hood. The developer explains it should run basically everything unless “it requires strong GPU acceleration or kernel-level anticheat”. It uses FreeRDP for showing the apps on your Linux desktop, enabling you to interact with them like you would with any other Linux app.

    I don’t want to sound rude, but maybe read the article and not just the headline before asking questions
