What Linux desktop apps do people want to run on Windows?

I'm struggling to think of anything I would use that isn't ported alteady, being GTK or QT or Java based.



The use case I care about, and I imagine the use case Microsoft do as well, is developing for Linux on windows, so running an ide and not having to worry about a complicated cross compiling toolchain backing it.


As someone who is forced to use either Mac or Windows at work, I would love this for the sole purpose of using i3 again.


I imagine if your app needs to interact with your Linux system, running it within WSL is a lot nicer.
