This is (like) virtualbox running in seamless mode...
Paint.net' child window always got mess up and float across the screen towards the left side
Yah, I dinked with this for far too long on several docker-based windows installs I have around the network including localhost on a non-standard port. Fails to set up and gives no messages to follow up when it does. I can connect to them fine with a normal xfreerdp command.
2/7
The config files need to be just right for this to work. It took a little fiddling at first but it works on Kubuntu 25.04 for the last few months.
docker based windows install ? How ? windows in qemu in docker ?
office in wine in docker and somehow exporting display to wayland ?
How does that work ?
I've been using the same windows/dockur setup for a couple years that they outline in the Winapp docs. It uses KVM via a docker cap you give it permission for in the docker compose.
It should work with this Winapp thing, but I haven't gotten much success so far trying to connect it. I've just been RDPing into them but I'd have liked to just pull the relevant windows alone, more like Terminal Service Applications.
Thanks !
I've never heard of that one
I had investigated distrobuilder in repack-windows mode
This sounds like a similar version of that with docker instead of lxc ?
I'm really curious to find some way to have just an application being streamed from one of those, instead of a whole desktop. Like just the application window, resizable like a regular window and using the decorations of the receiving OS
If that works with silly mobile games as well, maybe I can get my mom on Linux
Waydroid for that.
If this can run Clip Studio Paint, I'll take it.
Krita and GIMP lacks too many advance features for comic creation.
Worth a shot!
Nice I am going to give it a try. Thank you for sharing

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.
