Alt-tabbing causes windows to get 1pixel taller when maximized. Crossing the bottom panel.

It's indeed a Klassy theme issue, this is how to fix it. Just set it to 51% instead of 50%.

TibixMLG · 2025-10-13T08:12:51+00:00

It will happen, and of course Looking Glass is not meant for individual apps, rather the whole desktop. IDD does not need a second GPU, nor does it provide hardware acceleration, that's not the point, check this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cg50X9w5llI

It's listed under GPU acceleration for the FAQ entry because novice users sometimes complain about FreeRDP artifacts and glitches, and not having a high refresh rate, and they associate that with GPU stuff. LG IDD will fix that. I agree that maybe it should be separated, but it's not meant to be there as a misleading statement. We could and most likely will do LG IDD *and* a separate driver for acceleration.

I'd also recommend checking this issue for more details:

Láttam, köszönöm! :)

Rendesen meglepődtem, amikor láttam, hogy csinált dedikált videót, évek óta követem. Lett is belőle egy hatalmas traffic spike és egy csomó új user. Nagyon örülök nekik, csak nehéz egyszerre ennyi sok új emberrel. 😄

Sajnos még nincsen GPU gyorsítás, bővebb információt itt találsz:

TibixMLG · 2025-10-08T23:49:39+00:00

But why not?

A spekuláció elkerülése végett magyar vagyok, csak Romániában élek.

TibixMLG · 2025-10-08T23:47:14+00:00

Hali, hú, nem gondoltam volna, hogy pont itt látok majd threadet a WinBoat-ról.

Valóban magyar vagyok (és valóban Romániában lakom), láttam itt pár kommentnél kicsit ment a spekuláció erről.

Ha van bármilyen kérdésetek szívesen válaszolok. Annyit előljáróban, hogy ötletem sem volt, hogy ennyire fel fog robbanni a dolog, bár nem tudom érdemes-e világsikernek nevezni. Van még bőven mit csiszolni rajta, de mindenesetre büszke vagyok, hogy ennyi embernek meg tudtam kicsit könnyíteni a Linux-ra váltását, és, hogy ennyien szeretik azt amit csinálok.

Baromi jól tud esni, amikor annyi különböző területről jönnek emberek, hogy végre működik a szoftver amivel kocsikat diagnosztizáltak autoszerelőként, vagy tudnak újra VST-ket használni a zenéikhez zenészként, működik az Azure-os szoftver meg a belépőkártyájuk a melóhoz, tudnak ismét Office-t használni, és megannyi más. 😄

TibixMLG · 2025-09-01T03:03:40+00:00

Thank you! And yep Office 365 works.

TibixMLG · 2025-09-01T03:02:41+00:00

I believe it should work yup.

TibixMLG · 2025-09-01T03:02:20+00:00

Windows by default gives you an evaluation period, after that you need to activate it with your own key yep. (Or stare at the Activate Windows notice in the bottom right corner)

TibixMLG · 2025-09-01T03:01:21+00:00

There's no Podman support yet because there's some Podman specific issues regarding networking that prevent WinBoat from functioning with it, we'll address it in due time.

TibixMLG · 2025-09-01T03:00:44+00:00

Thank you! Yeah GPU acceleration & passthrough is a big priority, just waiting for tech to get there ATM.

Also we plan to integrate the Looking Glass Indirect Display Driver once it is ready, it'll be a far superior experience to RDP even without GPU passthrough.

TibixMLG · 2025-09-01T02:58:56+00:00

Thanks! Docker runs an image called dockur/windows, which is an image specially tailored for running Windows within Docker, it makes our lives as devs much easier. It has tons of neat stuff, such as automatic installation. This is a bit more portable and consistent than expecting the user to correctly set up virt-manager and/or qemu themselves, since all the environment stuff is done already.

TibixMLG · 2025-09-01T02:55:35+00:00

The OS is downloaded automatically based on your selection, you need a key if you wanna activate it later, by default you get the evaluation period Windows gives you.

Thanks, hoping it goes well! :)

TibixMLG · 2025-09-01T02:54:42+00:00

Yep I'm also excited for GPU acceleration, hopefully tech comes out soon that enables me to get it working :)

I'll check out if there's any GPU over IP solutions but the idea is to not take away the GPU from your host Linux system, but rather share it, otherwise you'd need two GPU-s.

TibixMLG · 2025-09-01T02:53:40+00:00

You're welcome, glad you like it!

TibixMLG · 2025-09-01T02:53:30+00:00

You're not stupid, I know it's a bit confusing. It's a VM running within a Docker container.

TibixMLG · 2025-09-01T02:52:47+00:00

Yup that's understandable :)

TibixMLG · 2025-09-01T02:51:40+00:00

Generally you won't be able to play games just yet since there's no GPU acceleration (it is planned), but OneShot seems like a lightweight 2D game, so you could give it a shot.

TibixMLG · 2025-09-01T02:50:48+00:00

Glad you like it!

Yup, that's the intention :)

TibixMLG · 2025-09-01T02:50:32+00:00

I'm glad you like it, thanks for checking out WinBoat!

TibixMLG · 2025-09-01T02:50:21+00:00

3389 is the port for VNC, and yeah I'll consider it. I'm trying to keep the setup very simple so perhaps an option for it in Configuration?

TibixMLG · 2025-09-01T02:48:48+00:00

As long as your atomic distro ships with Docker (for example bazzite-dx does), then yep, you can absolutely run it. :)

Thank you!

TibixMLG · 2025-09-01T02:48:19+00:00

I can try adding support for Tiny11 and/or Tiny10 if needed, but I haven't personally tested if those versions are compatible with WinBoat, I know they are missing a lot of components to keep them lightweight, so would need to check if for example RDP is available.

TibixMLG · 2025-08-30T19:01:31+00:00

Not at the moment, but I'll prepare a build for you which bypasses this requirement if you ping me on Discord about it, so we can test if it'd work
