What if, rather than make a Linux distro that can run Windows apps, you built the whole distro around Windows binaries instead?
Loss32 is the most gleefully deranged idea for how to put together a Linux OS that we think we have ever read about in three and a half decades… but it’s not impossible. Not only could it be done, there could be real advantages to doing it this way.
The idea comes from a blogger and developer known as Hikari no Yume (“Dream of Light” in Japanese) who made it public at the 39th Chaos Communication Congress in Germany at the end of December.
At least on PopOS you can just double click an exe installer and after the install it will show up in your start menu letting you run it through wine
Same with CachyOS, but Loss32 isn’t just trying to run an on-demand emulation layer within your DE, it’s trying to be the always-on default. It’s ambitious, to be sure!
