Anyone try this and have successes to report?
Tried it. I definitely like Winboat for its ease if installation and its GUI. It’s much more accessible than Winapps (its primary competitor), but it’s still kinda buggy. Windows don’t always open as expected (delayed open or not at all). I’m sure it’ll get resolved in time, but for now, Winapps is still more reliable, despite being a significant pain in the ass to set up.
The custom install path is a welcome change. I didn’t have a lot of space to put a complete windows install in /var when I’ve set up /home on a different partition (with most of my storage space). This lets me put that 32GB where I have the excess space.
Even if the application doesn’t support it, you can just bind mount a directory on the storage drive into /var as the directory where it is trying to save and the application won’t even know.
Symbolic links are one of my favorite parts of the unix-like family
