- vageli 5y agoThese days there is Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
- dkersten 5y agoWhich is a subsystem of windows to run linux, not a subsystem consisting of windows to run on linux. Ie that doesn't solve the problem of "I don't want to run Windows but want Windows software", but rather it solves the opposite problem of "I'm on Windows and want to run Linux software".
- vageli 5y agoAh, I see I misunderstood the comment to which I replied.
- bserge 5y agoMaybe if WINE ditched their "clean room" directive...
- mschuster91 5y agoThey can't, it would open them up for so much legal trouble. Just look at the entire SCO saga.
- sempron64 5y agoI think the core problem is that wine needs to be tweaked and adjusted for the applications which are running, and often running certain software requires strange things with winetricks. It’s not stable enough for a distro
