This appear to use https://github.com/dockur/windows which is a VM inside a Docker container?

Otherwise looking at the code this feels like something that could be a short bash script wrapped in a electron app.

I got a good chuckle from the https://github.com/dockur/windows#how-do-i-select-the-window... table

  11  Windows 11 Pro  5.4 GB
  2k  Windows 2000 Professional  0.4 GB
