I am informed that Windows is currently not supported by Exo. However, I was wondering if it's possible to use a Linux virtual environment (running on a Windows machine) to access and utilize the GPU of the Windows PC?

It would be great to have support for Windows, as the majority of users, especially gamers, tend to use Windows PCs, which almost always come with GPUs.

Thanks for considering this!

windows does not support posix shared memory _posixshmem therefore its currently not possible, even with wsl
you can install linux as a secondary boot though thats what i did to run it on my laptop.

I am able to successfully run Exo inside of both WSL2 and an Ubuntu Hyper-V guest using Win11-Pro and an Nvidia 4090 but there are kind of intermittent failures. I've been tracking/commenting here: #101 (comment)
