@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social actually i've been curious about this for a while. what would it take to port X or Wayland and all the other stuff needed to run a Linux desktop to Windows? could be a fun project for someone with a severe lack of sanity

Some of it already works through WSL.

@soop @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social you already said what it would take, their sanity.

KDE already has Windows apps but I suspect making KDE work outside of Linux would be really challenging and probably impossible on Windows

I think it does? However you will not be able to use Linux features.
