A lot of open source projects do have windows versions, and the big projects that come to mind like blender or Firefox definitely do… but there’s a a lot of little pieces of software that don’t. One example that comes to mind for me is the Dino XMPP client… Linux only for now, unfortunately!

Interesting. Are you able to install through WSL?

I have no idea as I’ve never been a windows user, haha. Dino is one of the examples I know about though, because I know I can’t recommend it to windows users.

WSL is Windows Subsystem for Linux. It allows you to use Linux from within Linux. Though there's probably some major thing I'm missing which makes it fundamentally different from just running a VM.
