This project hasn't had a release in 3 years... What's the point of sharing a link to a dead project (with no comments or explanation as to why you shared a dead link).

Relax, it's fine

Longhorn was the codename for Windows Vista... so not a great choice of a name (IMO).

Because WinApps is just a collection of Bash scripts, and not everyone might want to work on a project of this scale using Bash. In fact, I was considering a rewrite of WinApps myself, using Rust and egui, but never got around to it...

It works, but no GPU acceleration, if you need that. Although there ware ways to achieve that via GPU passthru, it's not for the faint of heart.

More polished UI, easier to set up (distributed as an AppImage + a Windows Docker image), and it's written in Typescript + Go, whereas WinApps is mostly a collection of Bash scripts that requires you to manually set up your own Windows VM first.

But the core concept is the same, using RDP's RemoteApps feature via FreeRDP for the "seamless" integration.


Yes, it uses RemoteApps. You can set it up yourself using just a vanilla Windows VM + FreeRDP3, no need for this app and all the complexities (and bugs) they come with it.

Yes, Battle.net runs flawlessly in Steam, have zero issues playing D2R and D4 this way. In fact D4 ran flawlessly on Linux on Day 1, which came as a bit of a surprise to me.

The only thing I still can't run is League of Legends. I hope someone can figure that out somehow

Has anyone here managed to get USB4 networking (USB4NET) working with an AMD mini PC (specifically ones from Minisforum)?

I'd love to have a 40Gbps backlink for a Ceph cluster.


I am doing this between two UM890 Pros. It was easy to set up and I have had no issues over many months, but I "only" get ~11.6 Gbps between them. This seems to match other reports e.g. https://fangpenlin.com/posts/2024/01/14/high-speed-usb4-mesh...

Perfect, thank you!

That link has pretty much all the info I was after. Pity it doesn't reach anywhere close to the theoretical speeds though, but hey at least it's better than 10GbE. :)


Doesn't matter, as long as it keeps winning battles. It doesn't need to dominate the marketshare. It's not some for-profit product that needs to answer to shareholders.


Ironically, the "native" option isn't really native, it's a virtual machine.

Termux on the other hand is actually native, your Linux apps are running natively on Android's Linux kernel, no virtualisation involved.
