#2Nice to see this on here. I really enjoy using this as well as Token2Shell (SSH client) from the same dev: https://token2shell.com/

#4I've been using VcXsrv (https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/) to do the same thing for a few months. It works well in most cases, but it can be janky. The scaling doesn't always work well if you're using a hidpi screen, and I had one application that was crashing consistently under certain circumstances.
Definitely going to try this out, but I wonder if it's worth paying for when I have a free alternative that does most of what I need it to do.

This is nothing new, I have used X Windows servers on Windows all the way back to 1999, there are quite a few to choose from.
If anything the amount to choose from went down not up, slowly replaced by RDP clients.
So that tells who will will win.

#9They are asking $50 for something that there are other open source solutions for. It would be interesting to find out how much of the original source code is the developers and how much is just repackaging of one of the multitude of open source X servers for Windows that are currently available.
Originally thinking it was another open source project, I looked at the website to see if there were some features that would be worth it to switch from VcXsrv. Mostly it talked about how there was a windowed mode that allowed seamless integration with Windows. Wow how revolutionary! /s

#10I've been using XMing for years (there are probably better options out there but it works for me) and there is of course vcxsrv as other people have mentioned.
It looks nice and all, but there are plenty of free options available that will do the same.
