WinBoat

posted in FREE APPS, LINUX, NEWS, PINNED NEWS | Leave a Comment

Run Windows apps on Linux with “seamless integration”.

Author words:

WinBoat is an Electron app which allows you to run Windows apps on Linux using a containerized approach. Windows runs as a VM inside a Docker container, we communicate with it using the WinBoat Guest Server to retrieve data we need from Windows. For compositing applications as native OS-level windows, we use FreeRDP together with Windows’s RemoteApp protocol.

Features

  • Elegant Interface: Sleek and intuitive interface that seamlessly integrates Windows into your Linux desktop environment, making it feel like a native experience
  • Automated Installs: Simple installation process through our interface – pick your preferences & specs and let us handle the rest
  • Run Any App: If it runs on Windows, it can run on WinBoat. Enjoy the full range of Windows applications as native OS-level windows in your Linux environment
  • Full Windows Desktop: Access the complete Windows desktop experience when you need it, or run individual apps seamlessly integrated into your Linux workflow
  • Filesystem Integration: Your home directory is mounted in Windows, allowing easy file sharing between the two systems without any hassle
  • And many more: Smartcard passthrough, resource monitoring, and more features being added regularly

WINE 0.9.49

posted in FREE APPS, LINUX | Leave a Comment

Wine is a translation layer (a program loader) capable of running Windows applications on Linux and other POSIX compatible operating systems. Windows programs running in Wine act as native programs would, running without the performance or memory usage penalties of an emulator, with a similar look and feel to other applications on your desktop.
Main changes from last release:


* Many copy protection fixes.
* GLSL is now the default for Direct3D.
* Lots of memory errors fixed thanks to Valgrind.
* Support for TOPMOST windows.
* Beginnings of an inetcomm dll implementation.
* Lots of bug fixes.
