Weird to compare it to Wine instead of Cassowary

https://github.com/casualsnek/cassowary

Since both are just running Windows in a VM

wonder if theyll add flathub

[-] ziggurat@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

While I respect that you want more apps you use into the same package manager. I may be wrong, but its my understanding that they dont accept docker containers on flathub. I don't even know it is possible to run docker inside a flatpak or if its possible if it would conflict with docker on the host. Docker or podman requires kernel features like cgroup which I belive flatpak sandboxes away.

At the very least you need docker or podman and kvm and pass these from the host into the flatpak

I really like having all or most apps in one or max two package managers on my computer. But I think this is a case where you might have to concede installing this piece of software without a flatpak

There is a Windows only video confrencing app that I need to use for work. Would this work ok?

I wonder if it can connect to my laptops webcam and microhpone. I also wonder if there would be a delay in the video and audio streams.

Would this work with MAGIX VEGAS??

Docker based windows seems like an odd choice when qemu exists. Will check it out to see how it bloats on resources. I have a couple work apps that won't work in WINE but are fine in qemu.

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.
