WinBoat adds support for Podman, UWP, app filtering and more

WinBoat is a popular way to run Windows apps on Linux in a containerized environment that sorts all the configuration for you and a new update sounds great.

An interesting alternative to using the likes of Wine / Proton, to have Windows directly on your device inside Linux with containers. It's all quite clever, especially useful for things that won't run well or at all with Wine. Luckily, I have no need for it but I can see the appeal, far less annoying than dual-booting just for a few select things.

Release v0.9.0 arrived November 23rd with a number of big new features, plus some security improvements and bug fixes.
