Comrades I challenge you to find the stupidest, most convoluted way to run a Windows app !
The rules are :
- You start with Windows and end with a Windows app
- All steps must be different, so no using 4 different VM software
Here is my entry, with a score of 9 beautifully stupid steps :
- Windows > WSL > WSL Wayland compatibility layer > Linux Wayland session > XWayland > QEMU > macOS > Wine > Windows app !
Can anyone do better ? I’m sure whoever get the highest score will gain eternal fame !
Fewer steps than yours, but I’ll claim this as a win in the “purity” field where you have to stop at the first layer where you can run a Windows app.
Linux on a RISC-V device -> container -> qemu-user + binfmt -> x86 VM software -> FreeBSD -> Linux binary compatibility -> Wine -> Windows app
