Did it have more or less compatibility than it does now? Was it difficult to use? I started using Linux around 2016 and switched to it fully in 2020. In all my time I have only used WINE for gaming as most Windows desktop applications I have tried don’t really work, not that I’d want to use many anyway. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I’m just curious to hear peoples experiences.
I work with #Wine since that day where you also could copy a whole Windows folder into wine to get it work. Not long after that, I created my first Wine prefix for a Game I still have. For games which already worked I do see difference on the 3d quality. I’m a bit surprised that my 32bit games work without problems but are not able to be used with 32-64bit mixed mode. I’m a bit afraid of their future because I miss some installer or lost licence keys and simply copied the games from Linux to Linux the last 20 years.
Over the year, I’m not anymore a gamer. I collect my games and currently watch the development of #GOW #GamesOnWhales and plan to create a Gameserver for my children.
My problem currently are Business application like from #Autodesk, #Solidworks or similar. Which even not install. And it seems some new UI tools Microsoft introduces and the new store also not work.
