Anyone try this yet? Office and adobe on Linux easily working on Linux would be big.
What about graphics acceleration? Does it need gpu pass through?
And so cometh the foretold LSW (Linux Subsystem for Windows)
And with it, the infinitely recursive wsllswwsllswwsllsw…
It’s subsystems all the way down
Always has been
Additional Features
- The GNU/Linux
/homedirectory is accessible within Windows via the\\tsclient\homemount
Well I for one won’t be touching this with a ten foot pole.
That’s just a feature of XFreeRDP. You literally just have to delete one flag from the command that starts the RDP client if you don’t want to share you home dir. I’m not sure if winapps-org is still just a shell script but the original winapps was, so modifying the command was trivial.
But having it on by default is a dangerous anti-feature.
- The GNU/Linux
What’s actually the best one? I used to use PlayOnLinux and it worked so well. But then it started to have problems and I read it was abandoned.
So, for example, if I wanted to play Guild Wars with multilaunch, what integrator would be smoothest and least complicated?
Speaking from my egregious amount of hours in GW1&2 back in the day, you should just launch it through steam with Proton. Check people’s settings here: https://www.protondb.com/app/1284210 There is likely a Lutris prefab as well.
Yeah I don’t play it on Steam, I use the old launcher because I run multilaunch. I was playing it back in ‘06 and am stuck in my ways.
I’ll take a look in Lutris, though, thanks.
I ran the old launcher through steam. It looks like, according to that link, that you can trigger the old launcher screen through execution commands now too.
I’m just gonna run it solo either with multilaunch, or I’ll do separate vm instances for the different game instances. I don’t need Steam for anything as of yet.
Thanks for the info about the front-ends.
Well will it run Winamp because I inadvertently read the title as Winamp and now I need it again
Audacious is your friend. It accepts old Winamp skins!
I’ve been rocking the Windows XP skin on Linux Mint
So… What make it’s different from PlayOnLinux or Bottles or Winetricks ?
They can’t run Adobe. This runs a full VM constantly in the background that you can pop up when you want to use the Windows desktop to install things etc. It’s a completely different set up. It can also run ArcGIS Pro, which the other methods can’t.
So this can run latest MS OFFICE and Adobe Suite you say ??
It can even run pirated versions, don’t ask me how I know! 🏴☠️
That’s even better !!!
Why would you want that though…
I don’t ever mean to be a downer but I feel this will hurt users in the long run. Just simy extending an umbilicle to Microsoft’s teat because they can’t be assed to let go and stop suckling. M$O and Adobe CC are some of the worst offenders for SaaS bullshittery.
As much as I want to move from them, Excel and Photoshop are too advance compared to any alternative, including both FOSS and commercial one.
Even Excel Online is not as advance as Excel desktop.
Casual users can get away from them, not advance user that needs unique feature only available in the software.
You are gonna love only office. Their spreadsheet work as close to excil as possible.
I actually use it for some PC, still missing a lot of features tho.
The thing is, sometimes you need Microsoft not of your own volition but because of bureaucracy. When I was signing a contract recently, the government required me to fill in a office word document and it would not work at all on libre, I had to scramble around the house, went through 3 different computers trying to get any of them to have office working after I just recently uninstalled it from all of them to use libre only, but in the end I had to use a university computer to fill in the doc.
Does anyone know if it can run Visual Studio? Would be awesome so i could switch to Linux for my Job
Visual Studio Code runs natively on linux. Not sure if that’s what you meant though.
i think they’re talking about the proper old visual studio, a full-blown IDE!
sure you can but why would you want to
I feel mislead, none of the apps actually run on Linux.
