Originally for Steam games, Proton can run many Windows EXEs. Install ProtonUp-Qt and run any EXE via Steam’s compatibility layer.

Move your Windows executable into the /opt directory of your package workspace: cp setup.exe my-app-1.0/opt/my-app/ Use code with caution.

For seamless enterprise rollouts where users can update the app via sudo apt update , host the .deb on an HTTP server (like Apache or Nginx) using a tool like reprepro or apt-ftparchive .
