I've been using GLMixer on Windows 11 (awesome software, thanks so much @brunoherbelin!) and I'd love to try out vimix, but my Razer laptop can't dual boot Linux. I thought I might be able to run the Linux version under WSL2 (with Ubuntu), but I'm running into some issues.
I can install the Flatpak version but attempting to run results in bwrap: Can't mount tmpfs on /newroot/tmp/.X11-unix: No such file or directory which seems to be a general Flatpak issue on WSL2 - and I can't seem to even install the apt version (unable to load package vimix) or snap version (error: cannot communicate with server: Post http://localhost/v2/snaps/vimix: dial unix /run/snapd.socket: connect: no such file or directory.).
Anyone had any luck with WSL2?

aha! Interesting that the use of WSL2 could be an alternative to run vimix under Windows!
As I don't have Windows, I admit I never tried WSL so can't answer your question.
That said, if you have a Flatpack installed, this could be a way in, modulo some adjustments...
The instructions at https://github.com/brunoherbelin/vimix/tree/master/flatpak indicate how to build a custom flatpack: maybe compiling it under WSL would allow changing access rules appropriately (i.e. to resolve the access to tmpfs).
Still, I am doubtful that the OpenGL drivers would be fully supported, but maybe things have changed since I last looked.
Of course, the best solution would be native build for Windows: issue #37 discussed that and I can reiterate that if I was provided with a Windows virtual machine to run Windows on my Linux machine, I could try to have a look...
