      Hi,

      No it's not. There's nothing on Linux that handles Windows API.

        Hi, to add to what @SGaist says, maybe you're thinking on ProtonDB or Wine? That is how you can run Window games on the Steam Deck.
        To use Qt that way, install wine on your Linux PC, then install the Windows version of Qt on it (and then to run the Windows Qt Creator, you type wine qtcreator on Linux.)
