- ORioN63 10y agoYes, it has suffered major improvements, but it still doesn't run everything. Also, online games with frequent updates, break often. Just my personal experience.
- douche 10y ago> suffered major improvements I think I'm going to start using this phrase
- veli_joza 10y agoWine is great, but I hate having both native and Wine version of Steam just to access Windows versions of games I have in my library. I wish Steam platform check could be overridden. I guess that's just one more reason to choose alternatives like GoG, Desura and Itch.io.
- coldpie 10y agoThanks! We work hard on it. If you like Wine and want to support its development financially, the best way is to buy a copy of CrossOver from my employer, even if you don't use it. Our salaries don't come from nowhere ;)
- pbhjpbhj 10y agoI'm using Kubuntu (just up-ed to 16.04 now), PlayOnLinux seems pretty good at getting things running but straight up WINE, for me, seems to take so much fussing with to get it to run stuff.
- paines 10y agoAlso I read, that e.g. Wine+Tomb Raider blows the native Linux TombRaider out of the water, in regards of performance.
