yeeeaaa, technically it should be as easy as installing wine and then just running exes, but wine doesnt install some fonts/dependencies by default (which is the whole reason lutris/bottles/proton exists) and may not have all the necesary api calls for some apps, pain in the arse, can we just get user friendly wine plzzz
hey fl studio runs fairly well in wine, ive done full projects with some third party plugins and it was usuable, only issue was lowered performance andvitall’s graphics were flickering
wow someone removed my wilma joke :(
wilma balls fit in yo mouth hey gottem
do plugins that run on wine count?
They are extremely similar to the point that I think they are edging
try using pcem or other kinds of virtualisation
cant you just run the installer with wine which is like 2000% easier?
that’s just extra friction, with UIs you can explore and figure out at a glance roughly what a button will do
i am of the opinion that applications on linux need some work, flatpak would be perfect for this however it doesn’t have a good user friendly permissions system, it’s a pain in the ass to install applications on non-system drives (which is a much bigger pain for native packages btw) and wine needs to be more user friendly in terms of prefix management, yes we have lutris and bottles but those feel like superglue to wine itself, im genuinely on the verge of learning C and doing all of this myself since that’s most of what’s holding me back from linux
literally just run the setup/game exe through lutris or bottles, then add the shortcut to steam
that is unless you’re running disk encryption, in which case your data (and in most cases your OS) is safe from unauthorized access, although there is not much to stop them just wiping it or running their own os on it lol
ive only upgraded from my 2014 shit phone in 2021, and i plan to do the same with this one for as long as i can
asus has killed the possibility of me being a potential customer then lol
is this an nvidia moment?
i mean i would get it if the platform wasn’t trying to take advantage of you, but considering youtube’s moves in the past few years and especially recently with some people getting adblock-blocked, yea i don’t think supporting them further is a good idea
if this isnt sarcasm, it all boils down to the user experience, most people just want to use an OS and run apps that they want to run as easily and quickly as possible
