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).
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...
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.
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.
