Is there a possibility and I’m not talking about breaking patents or anything like that, but I’m talking about a possibility technically, to have a Linux OS that can run Windows 11 apps natively?

No bottles or ports, just download an EXE file and run it.

    1. Preinstall wine

    2. Enable wine as the default app to open exes,.

    then, when you double click on an exe you downloaded in your file explorer, it will launch and open.

    Many of the user friendly Linux distros do this.

    Of course there are caveats, in that if you run an installer, it might not show up in your desktop or so on. And any programs that need admin or have heavy drm also won’t run.

    Im addition to that, I dislike the model of downloading exes from the internet. Here is the other comment with my thoughts: https://programming.dev/post/48941029/23338730
