Run Windows apps such as Microsoft Office/Adobe in Linux (Ubuntu/Fedora) and GNOME/KDE as if they were a part of the native OS, including Nautilus integration. Hard fork of https://github.com/Fmst...
That will unfortunately never be a thing. They could theoretically do a “Docker machine” like setup to support actual Windows containers, but there’s probably not enough interest in that.
Wait, Docker and Podman can create Windows VMs?
I had winapps setup using QEMU quite a while ago but this seems like a much tidier setup.
Docker and Podman can’t run Windows VMs by themselves. These containers use QEMU, so it’s essentially a pre-made setup for what you already had.
That’s a shame. Still very cool and much tidier than doing it directly but I thought you could actually pull windows:latest now and get going.

I am running it on Docker. :)

Yeah, had to dive in myself.
The answer is no, they can’t. You need to pass
/dev/kvmand/dev/net/tunin a composefile for a reason.There’s no „windows in docker”, but rather „handy windows vm orchestrator with nice UI in a container”. A bit of a mouthful.
