greenfield

I am trying to launch greenfield on windows machine and connect with Linux docker image with wayland apps. I am new to wayland so please share your thoughts if the Greenfield compositor can be launched on windows or not?

Greenfield can work on a windows but only if you use wsl2. In fact I did that in the past already: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/938#issuecomment-560030005 The instructions in that comment are outdated so they will probably not work.
