Tried out #winboat (not that I need any windows apps, but some people I know can't live without lightroom etc...
But I just can't get it to work fast / stable.
I and have 128GB ram in my system....

WinBoat could finally bridge the gap between Linux and Windows. It’s an open-source project that allows you to run Windows applications like Photoshop, Office, and Adobe Suite directly on Linux — fully integrated, without dual boot or virtual machines. In this video, I explain how it works, what makes it revolutionary, and why it might change everything for Linux users.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux/115604983455255786
Happily discovered #winboat a few weeks ago. There's ONE #Windows app I don't want to lose despite being a #linux daily driver. I _had_ been running it inside a vmbox VM, but on my 12 yr old laptop, that was really painful. And copy-pasting from linux > vm > app was a royal pain.
Winboat makes this app run like a native windows app.
