I was like, this has to be fake. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/09/microsoft-releases-a-new-windows-app-called-windows-app-for-running-windows-apps/
so by now even Microsoft acknowledges that it has lost the battle of making computing synonymous with Windows?
FOSS release of Windows when?
Yo dawg…
*xibit-meme.jpg*
Sounds awful lot like Citrix…
As I understood this is some remote running layer, while WINE is an emulator.
WIAE?
WINE is an emulator.
ಠ_ಠ
Wine Is Naturally an Emulator
Wine Is Nothing but an Emulator
Oh dear cheddar, what does WINE stand for?
(best quality I could find)
Wine Is Not (an) Emulator
Hahaha
What the fuck is that title
Some journalist memeing

It’s really more like Remote Desktop+. It has some additional “features” (slight retch) on top of traditional Remote Desktop features.
Let’s wait and see if it’s actually more secure than traditional Remote Desktop.
(and I’d still rather use Wine)
Did they invent X11 Forwarding over the network?
X11 can render individual windows (Xclients) through the network on another Xserver since decades. With XPRA you can even buffer them, to move them from one Xserver to another or make sure they survive network disconnect. It’s very cool, but not widely used.
Btw. when we get wayland forwarding over Network?
Unlike X11, Wayland was never intended to be network transparent. As others say, solutions like waypipe and more tradionally RDP and VNC exist.
Exactly. We won’t. We’ll get specialized video stream over network. I’m not happy about this regression. I understand that was a willing sacrifice to achieve better local performance, but I’m not sure it was worth it.
It’s more about security if I recall correctly
How so? Is there a way for malicious code to start injecting itself into calls to 127.0.0.1?
waypipe
exists, but it’s still not perfect.Never heard about this. Thx.
Btw. when we get wayland
forwarding over Network?/c/foundthenvidiauser
Yes, the
ssh -X
flag forwards it.I doubt it’s nearly as secure as OpenSSH though.
it goes through an SSH tunnel
Bottles and boxes are basically the Windows app.
No, it’s just remote. Remote desktop is now also called Windows, also the operating system you are connecting to is called Windows.
Gnome has relatively good rdp support, so with this you could use Windows (the app) on Windows (the os) to connect to you Linux machine running Gnome.
It seems deliberately confusing naming is working as expected, Microsoft marketing team should get extra raise.
Microsoft strategy 101. My “favourite” is the database called “SQL Server”
Doesn’t everyone call it MS SQL anyway?
Let me guess. It won’t support directx calls?
It’s a remote desktop client, so it won’t. OP read only the title of the article
HyperV4every1 version whateverthefuckitis
Let me guess? CLOUD VMS? “Emulation” tries the most generic app: Doesnt work. Office apps will be the only functioning apps.
To be fair MS Office fully working on Linux is about the only thing we really need to make it completely viable for businesses.
The Desktop apps will be replaced with web apps ASAP anyway. Well, I think, as soon they think they have ported enough of the features to the web version.
Are there native arm versions, or are those already webViews?
I hope its so they can finally end the legacy support for all the win98 software and end all “settings is actually a folder” non-sense.
