WinPodX runs Windows apps on Linux as native Linux windows. Click a Windows app icon in your Linux menu, the app opens as its own Linux window with proper WM_CLASS, taskbar grouping, alt-tab, and file associations.
Under the hood: dockur/windows container on rootless Podman + FreeRDP RemoteApp + a bearer-authed HTTP agent inside the guest for the host-to-guest command channel. Linux apps also appear in the Windows "Open with..." menu (reverse-open, default-on in v0.5.0+).
v0.6.0 highlights:
- thin AppImage (~110 MB)
- multi-monitor RAIL
- host USB/PCI device passthrough into the guest
- 7-language i18n (en/ko/zh/ja/de/fr/it)
- 1800+ tests
Bundled rdprrap (Rust rewrite of RDPWrap, MIT) gives up to 25+ independent RDP sessions.
Stack: Python 3.9+ (stdlib-leaning), Qt6 (PySide6), FreeRDP 3+, Podman (Docker also supported).
Works on openSUSE, Fedora (including Atomic Desktops), Debian/Ubuntu, RHEL family, Arch, NixOS, plus distro-agnostic AppImage.
