EnglishWhat Is Teleport (teleportsite.pages.dev)?
Updated
Teleport is a Windows App Compatibility Analyzer: it scans the Windows applications installed on a PC and reports which of them will run on Linux. For apps that have no native Linux version, it also gives a quality assessment based on compatibility layers such as Proton and WineHQ. It is distributed as a free .7z download from teleportsite.pages.dev. It is useful if you are considering a move to Linux and want to know, before switching, how much of your current software would still work.
What the tool actually does
The site describes a single, focused function rather than a general system utility:
- Scans installed Windows apps. It looks at the applications already present on the machine it runs on, so the output reflects your real setup rather than a generic list.
- Reports Linux runnability. Each app is classified by whether it will run on Linux.
- Rates non-native apps. If an app has no native Linux version, Teleport reports its quality according to Proton, WineHQ, and similar compatibility projects.
The page also links out to reference material on Proton, WineHQ, and Linux compatibility, which is where the underlying ratings come from.
How to use it
- Confirm the prerequisites. You need a Windows PC with the applications you care about already installed. The analysis is only as complete as what is on the machine.
- Download the archive. Use the free
.7zdownload link on the site. Because it is a.7zfile, you will need an archive tool that handles 7-Zip format to extract it. - Run the analyzer on the target machine. Run it on the Windows system you are evaluating, not on the Linux machine you plan to move to.
- Read the results per app. Expect two kinds of output: apps that run natively on Linux, and apps that depend on Proton/WineHQ with a quality rating.
- Verify before you commit. Treat the ratings as guidance and check the specific apps you rely on against current Proton/WineHQ reports, since compatibility changes over time.
Common sticking points
- Running it on the wrong machine. The scan covers installed apps, so running it on a clean or different PC gives you a misleading picture.
- Extraction failures. A
.7zfile will not open with the built-in Windows zip handling in all cases; install a 7-Zip-compatible extractor first. - Over-reading a rating. A quality rating for a Proton/WineHQ app is an indicator, not a guarantee for your exact version and workflow.
What it is and is not
| Question | Answer based on the site |
|---|---|
| What kind of tool is it? | A Windows App Compatibility Analyzer |
| What does it scan? | Installed Windows apps |
| What does it tell you? | Which apps run on Linux, and quality ratings for non-native ones via Proton, WineHQ, etc. |
| How is it distributed? | Free .7z download |
| Does it migrate your apps? | No — it analyzes compatibility only |
Who should download it
Teleport fits a specific situation: you are on Windows, you are weighing a switch to Linux, and you want an inventory-based answer about your own installed software rather than a generic compatibility list. If you only need to check one or two apps, checking Proton/WineHQ entries directly may be faster. If you want a broad picture of your current machine before committing to a move, the scan-then-review workflow is the point of the tool.
