You cant run a web application without a browser. But linux has browsers so yes it will work the same as on windows.

@unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de are you sure you can't run a web application without a browser ???
Thats like asking whether you can run without legs. A web application is a program made to be run in a web browser. There are applications that ship with their own custom browser engine so it doesnt look like a web browser, but its still technically being run by a web browser. Unless microsoft made a standalone version of this application, it wont be possible to run it outside some sort of web browser.
@unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de so a web application cannot run on cli ???
Please just use one question mark you're making us all nervous
@DrFunkenstein@sh.itjust.works l need to understand the value of a punctuation mark, l suppose......

Are you just trolling at this point? Yes there are browser engines for cli use, but those are for headless stuff like bots/scripts. How would a cli be able to render a full html site?
It looks like it's a browser-bsse game, so it will run.
Not sure what you mean by "like a native" though.
