The README indicates that this tool will only support Windows and MacOS through emulation. I find that odd.
Let's face it, if you're using Linux, you're comfortable typing some stuff into the terminal to install software. Or if you aren't comfortable with it yet, you will be soon. That's just the reality of using Linux. Even ignoring that, snap and flatpak apps provide a generally awful user experience, and I fail to see how this tool would do a better job.
That leaves Windows and MacOS users as the primary audience for software packaged using a tool like this. It would make sense that a tool like this would prioritize MacOS/Windows support above all else. Even the angry redditeur shown in the README clearly mentions .EXE files.
Why would QEMU even necessary? Docker runs fine on Windows. Maybe it's to avoid requiring the user to install Docker? Either way, asking the user to fiddle with Hyper-V settings is bad UX.
