Roger that. I use Ubuntu for all my dev work and for media manipulation work...If only these efforts would be dispensed on making the utility software on Linux user friendly. Have yet to find a screencast maker that just works :)
At this stage working on something like wine seems like a misguided effort. I use windows as my primary desktop OS and it works well. For non-windows users, a vm solution would be way better than a kluge like wine.
- morsch 13y agoI use Ubuntu as my primary desktop OS and it works well -- and I can say that it does in part because when I get an occasional itch to play a game, wine works for me more often than not (most recently: Hearthstone). If I still used Windows as my primary desktop OS, I wouldn't care about wine either, but then again I wouldn't be the target market, now would I?
- Edmond 13y agoYou are right, I am not the target audience. The point is that the effort required to keep a project like Wine going could be better spent on doing other things that make the overall Linux experience much more appealing. I used Ubuntu as my primary Desktop during the stone age of Vista and even then, using Wine was a painful experience compared to just switching to Windows.
- alex_duf 13y agoVM or full Install, you need a license to do that. Not everyone is ready to pay just to use some incompatible tools. I agree on the effort part though : it's a lot of time loss on something less and less useful nowadays.
