• A document scanner with pretty great Windows software that has features that are not nearly as easy to do with FOSS Linux software (splitting documents, auto cropping and alignment, OCR, etc)
• A 3D printer that doesn’t have Linux software, so I can’t easily send prints to it from Linux
• A webcam that supports device-level configuration (zoom, cropping, etc) but doesn’t have Linux software to control it
Just confirmed that Winboat (like Docker, KVM/qemu, and other container/VM solutions) can’t do bridged networking over wifi. At least one Windows app that I’d like to be able to use (FlashForge’s Orca Slicer) needs to be on the same LAN as the printer in order to work (in LAN mode so it can be used from more than one computer).
