That's a decompilation by IDA in that image. But nevertheless they could run it if they set up an arm64 machine, technically. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Amir@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago If you want a serious answer, you could theoretically disable all security checks on Win11 so you could hex-edit patch it to run, but it would be (1) a lot of effort and (2) probably show that it's nowhere near finished, because it still misses UI integration for example permalink fedilink source parent
