Sometimes, you really do just need to run a Windows app on Linux and perhaps WinBoat might make this easier with its promise of seamless integration.

Instead of running compatibility layers, it runs a real copy of Windows using Docker and KVM under the hood.

I take it that it requires a Windows license then, I’ll stick with wine.

  I’m assuming it’s using the dockur/windows image* the same as WinApps, which seems to be pre-registered ime.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
