Setup instructions for Windows #662
Comments
I love this idea, as i can't use linux on my main pc (due to intel arc driver issues), this would be very helpful, tho, i did this on a test install, and there were some issues that i don't think anyone wants to spend the time solving them, as an example, if you try to use tuba, it will give crash complaining about d-bus interfaces |
i saw that there are some gnome apps like cartridges running on windows, they are using msys2 to compile them, althought it is out of the scope of flatpak, it could be a better solution to distribute linux apps on windows with that tool, maybe start encouraging that could help (? |
thats because the default WSL environment is missing some dependencies that are required for flatpak apps. |
Oh, do you know which dependencies, i could test that |
you need to activate systemd. |
Apparently Flatpak works just fine with WSL
A contributor is using WSL to run and contribute to Workbench 🤯
I don't have access to a Windows / WSL computer so I can't do it myself ATM
We could consider adding instructions for Windows / WSL ; at least with a warning that it is experimental or something?
A potential next step would be some kind of signed .exe to take care of it all.
