If you're looking to jump from Windows 10 to Linux, and you have specific apps you need to use that aren't available on the open-source platform, here's how to get around that.

Winboat is a new technology to run Windows apps on Linux. If the developers can deliver, this will be a game changer.

With the release of Wine 8, the Windows replica for Linux has matured again and enables more Windows programs. In most cases, however, additional work is necessary to set up Windows programs.

Here's what you need to know about the new changes available for the Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 11.

Windows 10 now lets you run Linux GUI apps (X11 and Wayland) without using a virtual machine after Microsoft added GUI support to the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

Although Linux does not (yet) support this binary format, the good news is that you can learn how to write kernel modules by implementing COM support for the Linux kernel.
