ALGOLASSI DESKTOP PRODUCT
CloudRunner Linux on Windows
Run a Linux desktop locally on Windows. CloudRunner can boot its bundled x86-64 Linux guest with QEMU, or use WSL2/WSLg to launch Linux ELF applications and ZIP packages.

Two ways to run Linux applications
Choose the local Linux environment that fits what you want to do. The bundled guest and WSL workflow are separate modes.
Embedded Linux desktop with QEMU
Boot the bundled x86-64 Linux desktop guest locally. It includes Xorg, xeyes and xterm for trying the desktop experience, without requiring an installed WSL distribution.
Launch apps through WSL2/WSLg
Use an existing WSL2/WSLg environment to launch local Linux ELF executables or ZIP application packages. ZIP contents are staged inside the WSL Linux filesystem before launch.
Requirements
- Windows 10 x64 version 2004 (build 19041) or later, or a compatible Windows 11 system.
- .NET 10 Desktop Runtime.
- Microsoft Edge WebView2 Evergreen Runtime.
- Windows Hypervisor Platform is recommended for accelerated QEMU operation; software emulation may be slower.
- WSL2 with WSLg is required only for the optional WSL application workflow, not for the bundled embedded guest mode.
Experimental preview — read before use
CloudRunner is an experimental preview, not a hardened security sandbox. Run only Linux applications and packages you trust. Review the release notes and test in a non-critical environment. Performance depends on your Windows system and virtualization support.
