WinApps

Run Windows apps such as Microsoft Office/Adobe in Linux (Ubuntu/Fedora) and GNOME/KDE as if they were a part of the native OS, including Nautilus integration for right clicking on files of specific mime types to open them.

WinApps was created as an easy, one command way to include apps running inside a VM (or on any RDP server) directly into GNOME as if they were native applications. WinApps works by:

• Running a Windows RDP server in a background VM container • Checking the RDP server for installed applications such as Microsoft Office • If those programs are installed, it creates shortcuts leveraging FreeRDP for both the CLI and the GNOME tray • Files in your home directory are accessible via the \tsclient\home mount inside the VM • You can right click on any files in your home directory to open with an application, too
