I recently had to deal with #wine again because of some stupid windows stuff.
I'm not good at it, what is a WINEPREFIX and anyway I don't care to learn about win-compat...
So what's good for someone occasionally running a handful of random apps, who doesn't want to touch the plumbing?
#bottles ? @lutris ? @playonlinux ? Something else?
Well, apparently PlayOnLinux is deprecated.
On the other hand, I installed Lutris and it seems to work just fine - not just games! (Seems obvious to say now, but my confidence was a bit shaken with how focussed on gaming the messaging is)
Bottles looks good, is a bit confusing, but most importantly, the annoying app I wanted to run black-screened :(
So Lutris for now!
@douginamug is your app listed on the website? it might have an install script that solves some issues. Non gaming apps are really hit or miss and all the progress done in the past years have mostly been gaming related (we're seeing some progress with Photoshop and Affinity but those still require special Wine versions)
@lutris unsure... But my point was that it installed fine with defaults in Lutris, but not bottles
