Sounds like we need a WSL in the other direction - have a Windows subsystem for Linux, so that your $distro integrates with Windows and you can run apps on Wind

Sounds like we need a WSL in the other direction - have a Windows subsystem for Linux, so that your $distro integrates with Windows and you can run apps on Windows while having the window show up on your Linux system :)
- tracker1 2y agoThere's WINE for basic compatibility, like for Affinity tools in TFA. You can use a Windows VM, and IIRC both VMWare and VirtualBox have integrated UI options to put the start menu/bar integrated into the windows desktop. I've done this before, putting my mac/linux dock on the side, and the windows bar on the bottom. I haven't used Windows outside work projects the past few years though. Aside, surprised and disappointed in that you can use Affinity tools, which is very cool, but kind of sucks that you have to jump through that many hoops. Would be somewhat nice if Affinity themselves gave you an install script that could self-detect the major Linux variants (Fedora, Ubuntu/Debian) and install more directly.
