That’d be cool.

I mean, can’t you just run it with qemu-user anyway?

I guess it is more performant.

Let me know if I don’t know enough about what you are talking about, but I think your saying to use qemu to o run windows.

This is about running x86 code on arm processors, like what Apple does with Rosetta.

Qemu can emulate one architecture on another. And qemu-user can be used to run a single userspace-program on a different architecture.

I might be very mistaken, but I don’t think QEMU can link mixed-architecture dependencies. Box86 can run an x86 game on ARM and link ARM-native shared objects for OpenGL, thus skipping emulation of some hotpath code.

You can but the performance will be suboptimal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
