WinApps

Run Microsoft Office/Adobe and other Windows applications in Linux (Ubuntu/Fedora) and GNOME/KDE as if they were part of the native OS, including Nautilus integration for right-clicking files of specific mime types to open them. WinApps was created as a straightforward command-line method to seamlessly incorporate applications running within a virtual machine (or any RDP server) directly into GNOME, making them appear as native applications. Here's how WinApps works: • Runs a Windows RDP server in a background VM container • Checks if applications like Microsoft Office are installed on the RDP server • If installed, it uses FreeRDP to create shortcuts for both CLI and the GNOME tray • Files in the home directory are accessible via the \tsclient\home mount inside the VM • You can also right-click any file in your home directory to open it with the desired application.

Winapps is a tool that allows users to run Windows applications (e.g., Microsoft Office/Adobe) on Linux systems (e.g., Ubuntu/Fedora), integrating them seamlessly into the Linux desktop environment as if they were native apps.
