Yes, it's feasible to run a GUI app in a Windows container on Linux or macOS. You can also use WineHQ with Docker on Linux to install various runtimes and dependencies for apps like AutoCAD or Revit, ensuring each has its own environment.

The software used to run Windows containers on Linux or macOS is Wine. There are several tutorials available online that explain how to set it up and use it effectively.

You're unable to achieve this on other systems due to proprietary restrictions. On Windows, hyper-v (and Docker) offers a solution, but not on other platforms. For Linux, a KVM-based VM is the closest alternative. Google has confirmed this approach.

KVM is more suitable for virtualization needs, while Wine Docker is better for running Windows apps in a container. Choose based on your requirements!

It's a frontend solution, not limited to games. It also supports building starter projects that can be deployed in Docker.

I'll test it in CAD programs "autocad/revit/robot/navisworks/staad pro connect"

It varies, as running a CAD app doesn't always require a container or VM. Wine works fine in most cases. If you need a specific version, tools like Lutris can help maintain it, though it's not essential.
