Winapps: Run Windows apps such as Microsoft Office/Adobe in Linux (Ubuntu/Fedora) and GNOME/KDE as if they were a part of the native OS, including Nautilus integration.

Greetings,

I’ve been working on a project called WinApps that took off when I launched it on Reddit (including a Platinum Award). It works sort of like a “Linux Subsystem for Windows” to run programs like Office, Adobe CC, or just about anything else from Windows in Linux. The premise is based off RDP apps, but the process by which it automates all of the connections between the Windows VM, GNOME/KDE shortcuts and file associations is core, and why people have been flocking to it significantly faster than I expected. A single, short config file, and apps can be added to the tool.

In any event, I’ve been exploring other applications to configure for it as the audience expands, and I figured it couldn’t hurt to ask if you would like to check it out and perhaps spread the word if you find it interesting.
