What is WinPodX?
Native Linux windows for every Windows app — real icons, real WM_CLASS, pin-to-taskbar. FreeRDP RemoteApp + dockur/windows. Zero config.
No full-screen RDP. Each Windows app becomes its own Linux window with its real icon — pinnable, alt-tabbable, file-associated. Drop into a full Windows desktop only when you actually want one (WinPodX app run desktop).
WinPodX runs a Windows container (via dockur/windows) in the background and presents Windows apps as native Linux applications through FreeRDP RemoteApp, while a bearer-authed HTTP agent inside the guest handles the host?guest command channel without flashing a PowerShell window. No manual VM setup, no ISO downloads, no registry editing. Near-zero external Python dependencies (stdlib only on Python 3.11+; one pure-Python tomli fallback on 3.9/3.10).
