Does Genymotion Desktop support running a Windows guest on a Linux host?

Host Linux, Guest Windows

Genymotion Desktop is supported on Linux hosts, but the guest/device run is Android, not Windows. On Linux and macOS, VirtualBox is not recommended and QEMU is the default hypervisor. An error has occurred while trying to create a virtualbox host-only network interface

If you need a Windows virtual machine, Genymotion Desktop is not the right tool. It is designed for Android emulation, app testing, demos, and security testing.

What are you trying to run on Linux: Android apps, or a Windows VM?
