And here come the "b-but you can use wine" comments, which of course everyone who would be a proponent of such would understand that it is not perfect, does not run everything and is far from user-friendly.
- jsight 10y agoYeah, Wine is amazing for what is is, but is never quite good enough for current, big desktop applications.
- pdkl95 10y ago> does not run anything Have you actually tried it in recent years? Wine runs a lot of stuff just fine. grep --files-with-matches wine ~/opt/win32/*/launch.sh | wc -l 71 The most obvious incompatibility right now is probably DX11-only software. Aside from that kind of known compatibility problem, wine has worked well for several years now. > far from user-friendly. While I agree that wine can get nasty if you need to debug anything or if you have unusual requirements, but the standard "just run this win32 binary" case has also been trivial for years. I believe some distros even enable the kernel feature that launches wine automagically when running a .exe file. > it is not perfect Of course it isn't. It is, however, worth trying.
- NTripleOne 10y agoSorry, that was supposed to be everything, not anything.
- criddell 10y agoI've always been afraid that DRM-encumbered games aren't going to work on wine. Is that an unfounded fear?
- NTripleOne 10y agoNo. Games that utilise the Denuvo DRM (which is gaining popularity, unfortunately) will not run on Wine.
