Hi @Peter_1985 ,

C# .NET Core/5/6+ and cross-platform C++ projects can run natively on Debian/Linux, while older .NET Framework and Windows-specific C++ projects require porting or a compatibility layer like Wine.

Best Regards.

For general files: Use Wine to run Windows executables on Ubuntu..exe

For your own C#/.NET or C++ projects: Consider porting the code to work natively on Linux.

You can use Wine on Android (For Windows Apps)

Or use an x86 Emulator or a Virtual Machine (VM) on Android.

Visual studio supports cross platform C/C++ projects. Its uses a Linux compatible cmake file so you can build on Linux with the Linux C/C++ compiler.

If you install the Linux tools (WSL) you can build the Linux executable (which will not have a file extension) on your windows box.
