As others have said, Windows is the issue with windows computers.
OSX has plenty of flaws, but it (generally) stays out of your way, is a less hostile development environment, and is compatible with all the things you need. I feel like the Linux folks are attacking this problem by trying to create distros that are easier and easier to use, which is great, but it doesn't solve the compatibility piece, which is this weird chicken and egg thing (consumers still don't want to figure out how to use Wine). Luckily, gaming seems to be making progress here?
- twiss 8y agoMaybe someone could make it so that, out of the box, when you double click an .exe for which PlayOnLinux has a Wine install script, it's automatically used. And if not try to just launch it with Wine and hope for the best. Obviously, the hard part of this would be improving Wine and PlayOnLinux further to the point where that works reliably.
