That looks similar to Flox, which is also Nix-based. https://github.com/flox/flox

WinBoat uses Docker (specifically the dockur/windows container) to simplify the backend setup. The Docker container hosts QEMU and all the configs to automate the whole "create a VM, configure it, install Windows, configure it etc

What's her use case, if you don't mind me asking? Because a lot of Windows apps do work fine in Wine (some may require additional tweaks), so perhaps that could be an option.

macOS does in fact runs well* on Linux, see: https://github.com/dockur/macos Edit: Well-ish, as there's no GPU acceleration as noted in the comments below.

It's a full VM running via Docker. The Windows apps are presented via RDP's RemoteApps protocol via FreeRDP. There's also WinApps, which is the same thing but without the docker container, and it supports a remote VM as well:

Affinity actually works fine in Wine (last I checked), takes a bit of effort to set it up though: https://github.com/seapear/AffinityOnLinux

You can use WinApps for that instead - supports both local and remote VMs. https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps

Not quite similar, but there's darling, which only supports CLI apps for now: https://github.com/darlinghq/darling If you want a full macOS VM there's dockur's project: https://github.com&#x2F

This is incorrect. FreeRDP has supported Wayland since a long time via their `wlfreerdp` client - which is now deprecated, Wayland support is now available via their `sdl3-freerdp` client. The SDL client was alpha quality a couple of years

Just because something is "major" or "popular" doesn't mean that it's any good. I mean, just look at Windows.

Not sure what you're on about? Aurora is based on Fedora and it's still very much active, last release update was just 3 days ago.

> That's an interesting way to phrase it. It's like you're implying the company intentionally did not want to run it on anything but Windows (aka software is incompatible with non-Windows OSes) rather than trying to imple

NixOS is pretty niche and getting nVidia to work properly on it is a PITA. I would recommend using CachyOS instead (since you sound like an advanced user), it has excellent nVidia support - you don't need to do anything special to get

Which distros have you tried? The new nVidia open drivers work so much more better in Linux these days than the fully proprietary ones (still not as good as AMD, but it's pretty decent). Also there are distros which handle cutting edge

Unfortunately you tried the worst possible distro out of them all - Ubuntu is infamous for being the Windows of the Linux world (for all the wrong reasons), and Canonical is getting worse every year. Still nowhere as bad as Microsoft, but t

Have you checked out OnlyOffice (not to be confused with OpenOffice)? It's MSO file format compatibility is vastly superior to LibreOffice, I use it work on files shared by colleagues using MSO and it works fine for the most part. The

When did you last try Remmina (which uses FreeRDP as the backend btw)? Ever since FreeRDP got updated to V3, the RDP experience improved significantly. I use it every day for work stuff and it's been great - folder sharing works, clipb

Even better, just switch to Linux. F** Microsoft.

No it doesn't. You can navigate to long paths, but try doing any file operations (like renaming a file) and you'll see it doesn't work. Also, the rest of my points are end user impacting. Updates impact everyone and is a ve

My experience is kinsa similar to yours, started around 98/99 with Red Hat and Mandrake. Linux was just so clunky at the time. I could never take it seriously, having to compile the kernel for getting something basic going was not very

Also not to forget the 260 character file path limitation, which still haunts Windows till date! You can lift the limits via a registry key, but programs still need support for it. Forget third-party programs, even many first-party Microsof

This is the first I'm hearing of Scaleway. Is there a place where I see the pricing of various instances without creating an account first?

You should also check out QNX, it used to be an awesome OS, way better than Linux back in the day. They released a 1.44MB demo floppy disk in the late 90s that included a full desktop GUI, HTML4 browser, network stack. It blew everyone away

Can't speak for Solaris, but the BSDs do get some love from the Wine devs. There are even active BSD gaming communities to make BSD gaming viable, much like Linux+Proton! https://youtu.be/vQpI7SU921A

Same. I used to use it as my "cybercafé" OS, since cybercafés at the time were untrustworthy (big risk of keyloggers and malware), I'd boot QNX on their PCs and browse the web securely. Used to carry it around everywhere and

I daily-drive an M1 MBA and a ThinkPad Z13 Gen 1 running Linux (Bazzite), and the experience (in terms of convenience and reliability) is identical for the most part. In fact I actually prefer the screen on my ThinkPad, the 1200p OLED displ

And this is why people don't take suckless seriously.. using a bloated draconian toolkit like GTK+ goes completely against the suckless philosophy, IMO.
