Using opencode + local Qwen to build Windows apps: how to let the LLM test its own code
mototuneup · reddit · 2026-09-08
A self-described non-programmer shares their workflow of using opencode with a local Qwen 27B model to write and test Linux scripts, and now wants to build tools for their kids' Windows machines. The challenge: on Linux the model can run and test its own code, but how should that work for Windows targets? They consider running opencode inside a Windows VM (though they dislike opencode desktop), or whether the model can control the Windows OS via WSL, and ask the community for the right order of operations.
