The day Linux Mint has a competent win32 and directx api (Wine is not there yet and may never be) I will switch.
Windows is inconvenient at times but if I have to choose between inconvenience and not being able to use my programs... what's the point of having a computer if it can't run your programs?
- empyrrhicist 3y agoOut of curiosity, what programs?
- veave 3y agoI know how this works: I give a list of programs, and someone comes and says "half of those run more or less well on wine, and then the other half have native alternatives that work more or less well".
- empyrrhicist 3y agoMeh, I keep a Windows installation around for gaming myself, so I'm not hardcore about it. More and more of my work and personal stuff does move over to Linux every year though.
- prmoustache 3y ago> what's the point of having a computer if it can't run your programs? The point of having a computer is to be able to program it actually. This is not a TV appliance. So I would say the correct answer is port your programs to a better OS.
