WinApps works by: Running Windows in a Docker, Podman or libvirt virtual machine.

This seems like an okay solution, but my questions are:

  • How much overhead does this add? (Excel and Adobe products can be pretty heavy)
  • How much latency does it add? (Will things have good responsiveness, or will it behave like an app through RDP?)
  • How good is the hardware passthrough? (Editing video benefits greatly from GPU acceleration, Teams can be tricky about USB mics and cameras)
