I vote for all of what you said

Haha sounds like a good problen to have

I’ll try to find it. Maybe you can use Tineye or something else from alternativeto.net alternatives to Google Lens to find it using a photo taken too? If not no worries, takes for the info either way

Thanks for the suggestion it does sound like something I would use. I’ll give it a go. Appreciate it

Careful not to use them too loud though studies are being done and finding that hearing loud sounds consistently especially earbuds/headphones over/in ear are killing the hairs in ear that help with keeping hearing good

Which book if you don’t mind me asking?

Imagine ricing an office chair to look like a gaming chair:

“Look at my awesome gaming office chair I customized it myself” would definitely be a flex on twitch

Can you link the one you got please?

Do you have any guide suggestions I can use to get it setup. Seems like a great thing overall

What are your monthly costs? Does seem fun

Bought a sunrise alarn clock then felt some benefits of waking up easier

Then used it with combination of opening curtains and that energized me a lot

Now thinking the final evolution will be to have a curtain setup that auto-opens at the set time, and changeable when needed. Not sure yet if anything already exists product-wise for that but that’s something that will very likely help you a lot too (Hopefully you have a window next to your bed)

It is super underrated waking up millions times easier via the sun (Pair with consistent sleep schedule of when you sleep and wake)

That’s fascinating I understand what you mean. Yeah it does and does not

The Windows windows acts like Linux Windows

Also here’s what Lumo from Proton says about the 2:

WinBoat does offer a feature that’s roughly comparable to Parallels Coherence mode.

When you launch a Windows program through WinBoat, the app appears as a regular‑looking Linux window—complete with its own title bar, task‑bar entry, and the ability to move it around the desktop just like any native Linux application. In other words, WinBoat’s “seamless‑integration” mode gives you the same kind‑of experience that Coherence gives on macOS: Windows apps sit side‑by‑side with your Linux apps without the need to switch to a full‑screen Windows desktop.

The implementation differs, though:

• Underlying tech – WinBoat runs a full Windows instance inside a Docker‑based container, then forwards the graphical output to the host via an Electron front‑end.
• Integration depth – While the windows look native, deeper macOS‑style features such as drag‑and‑drop between host and guest, shared clipboard, or automatic file‑type handling may be more limited compared with Parallels’ tightly‑integrated Coherence mode.

So, if you’re looking for a way to run individual Windows programs on Linux without juggling two separate desktops, WinBoat’s seamless‑integration mode is the closest analogue to macOS Parallels Coherence.

Parallels Desktop (macOS) vs WinBoat (Linux)

Below is a side‑by‑side look at the two products, focusing on the Coherence experience that Parallels calls “Coherence mode” and the seamless‑integration mode that WinBoat provides.

Core purpose

“Seamless” experience (the part that resembles Coherence)

Where they diverge

1. Depth of integration – Parallels’ Coherence is built around Parallels Tools, which injects drivers into the Windows guest to give tight integration (clipboard, mouse pointer, display scaling, audio, printers, etc.). WinBoat’s integration is functional but not as exhaustive; some peripheral passthrough (e.g., USB devices) is still experimental.

2. User‑interface polish – Parallels presents a macOS‑styled “Windows Applications” folder in the Dock and hides all Windows UI elements automatically. WinBoat shows its own Electron dashboard; you still need to click inside that UI to launch an app, although the resulting windows look native.

3. GPU / graphics support – Parallels can leverage the host’s GPU (including Metal on Apple Silicon) for smoother 3D and video playback. WinBoat relies on the generic virtual GPU provided by the container, which is adequate for office apps but can struggle with games or heavy graphics workloads.

4. Snapshot & rollback – Parallels offers full VM snapshots, revert points, and cloning. WinBoat’s container persistence is essentially a snapshot of the whole filesystem, but you cannot create incremental snapshots as easily.

5. Platform focus – Parallels is a commercial product aimed at professional/mac‑centric users who need a polished Windows experience. WinBoat targets Linux power‑users who want a lightweight, free way to run Windows apps without managing a full VM.

6. Support & updates – Parallels provides official support, frequent releases, and compatibility updates for new Windows versions. WinBoat’s development is community‑driven; updates depend on contributors and may lag behind major Windows releases.

Bottom line

If you are on macOS and want the most seamless, fully integrated Windows experience—complete with automatic driver injection, smooth graphics, and a polished UI—Parallels Coherence is the clear choice.

If you are on Linux, prefer a free/open‑source solution, and are comfortable with a slightly less‑polished integration layer, WinBoat’s seamless‑integration mode gives you a comparable “apps appear as native windows” experience, albeit with fewer advanced integration features.

Both aim to eliminate the need to juggle two separate desktops, but they differ in how deeply they merge the guest OS into the host environment, the level of performance tuning they provide, and the overall user‑experience polish.

Sources

Maybe you can suggest what they can add to Winboat since you have experience with Parallels advanced features

Hope that helps

Don’t know about Parallels on Mac but it does have filesystem sharing

Not sure what you mean by seamless windows though

Recommend using Winboat to run Windows 10 especially when they add GPU Passthrough. It is not dual booting or VM but a different thing like an app where you can turn on and off the operating system of Windows

Try out Winboat

It doesn’t have GPU Passthrough yet but they are adding it in

Really cool how Winboat does it. Read up on it and watch some videos

Its butter smooth even without Passthrough but when it is added it’ll be phenomenal
