IIRC this kind of integration was an RDP protocol feature (lookup “seamlessrdp”). Does someone know when did the old feature stop working that we know need a full Javascript app in place to achieve the same results?
They’re not the same, though. Well, at least not if fully implemented. They overlap but one won’t get you seamless integration from a physical server and the other won’t set up a VM and run the one piece of software on it for you automatically.
I still think the whole thing is frustratingly working around having a proper translation layer that works out of the box. It’s nuts that we have it up and running for gaming, which is arguably the most complex use case possible, but booting up Excel is like “nope, sorry, too hard, can I interest you in just streaming that window from a whole separate system instead?”
Struggling to see the use-case.
If I need this level of “real” Windows where it’s the whole operating system running virtualized, I’d feel more comfortable just running a virtual machine.
I mean… really?
You should talk to Windows users, then, because… you know, WSL is a thing.
I would like to not have a use case, but… I kinda do. What I don’t have is a solution to that use case, so I just dual boot. Because both a VM and a VM-but-it-puts-the-window-you-want-directly-on-your-desktop are not good enough for the types of applications that are not working or unsupported.
I have a use case too, but it comes down to wine and VM increasing hardware latency which I need as close to 0ms as possible. Even 20ms is too much. Fortunately these situations are minimal but it’s still annoying.
Yeah i like having a nice clear barrier between my native and virtual systems.
