Show HN: Winpodx – run Windows apps on Linux as native windows

April 30, 2026
Winpodx v0.3.0 launches as a zero-config tool that runs Windows applications as native Linux windows using FreeRDP RemoteApp over a dockur/windows container, replacing the previous PowerShell command channel with a bearer-authenticated HTTP agent on 127.0.0.1:8765. Each app gets real WM_CLASS, icons, and alt-tab integration. Linux developers needing occasional Windows app access without dual-boot should evaluate this immediately, particularly given multi-session RDP support up to 10 concurrent sessions, HiDPI auto-detection across GNOME/KDE/Sway/Hyprland, and automatic 7-day password rotation that competing tools like winapps entirely lack.
