I read today that Windows 11 supports Linux programs with a GUI.
https://www.theregister.com/2021/10/05/windows_11_in_detail/ about
halfway down. Quote: <GUI Linux applications can be pinned to the
taskbar and launched as if they were native Windows applications.>
end quote.

I strongly suspect you need to install a special Linux distro first,
but has anyone been able to try it with the AppImage of CinGG? I have
no Windows anywhere.

First I have no knowledge or experience with this topic myselfe, but point on some related stuff. (The closest I tried and looked at several years ago, was Cygwin on Windows)

Not so important, and possibly I had a look at Cygwin too,
but what I meant was the predecessor "Windows Services for Unix" (SFU)

A practical guide to using AppImages on WSL2.

Run Linux GUI apps on the Windows Subsystem for Linux (preview)
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/gui-apps

The above is not unlike the CLI installation in the Readme for Cin-GG. Additional, the appimage is "extracted", something I noticed another person mentioned made his Appimage program faster on his Linux.
Possibly also AppImageLauncher works on the actual Linux distro on WSL2 ?

The base looks to be WSL2  - Windows Subsystem for Linux -
a compatibility layer for running Linux binary executables natively on Windows systems.

Then one or more of the several Linux distributions can be installed from Microsoft store:
