Feature disparities
While we strive to offer a uniform interface across the board, not all features are available on all platforms and there are some behavior differences:
-
Windows terminal integration is offered only on Windows. This affects the setting
client.apps.windows-terminal.profiles
-
File and URL launches are only possible on Linux. This affects the
launch
command. -
Mounts are disabled on Windows by default, though they can be enabled with the setting
local.privileged-mounts
. They are enabled by default on macOS and Linux. This affects themount
,umount
, andlaunch
commands. - When using the QEMU driver, extra networks are supported only on macOS. This affects the
networks
command, as well as--network
and--bridged
options inlaunch
. - Different drivers are available on different platforms. This affects the
local.driver
setting. See driver for further behavior differences depending on what driver is selected.
