Description:

Wine is a compatibility layer for running windows applications on linux. applications are run at full speed without the need of cpu emulation. wine does not require microsoft windows, however it can use native system dll files in place of its own if they are available.

this meta-package always depends on the latest version of wine.

3 WINE never works for me, so I am going to have to give it a so-so score. But really awesome if you can figured it out. I use it for gaming though, so of course, that's just my experience with it. Although IMGBurn works wonderfully with it.

5 Hi all, Just been installing Shellshock Nam '67 on Linux Mint Maya Cinnamon. Apart from the usual (even in windows) TOD_PC.ini file alteration, located in the my computer folder to turn off PostRenderEffects, this went smoothly. However in the 64bit version of mint, some of the sound is missing (menu music and ingame)... ...Also of note if you refresh the drive list in wine configuration the game can no longer see the cd , changing it back to D: should resolve but I haven't tested this yet. MANY MANY thanks to the Wine team for providing compatibility supirior to Windows 7 Ultimate with Compatibility Mode installed :O :D!

4 I am new to Linux Mint. I had trouble installing Wine with my package manager. I finally go Wine Tricks to install. I like the versatility. I wish there was a better uninstall. When programs like I tunes don't work it messes up the registry. You have to clear all the programs or manually edit the registry. I was able to install Glary Utilites and run it's registry editor, which did work.

3 It makes me think of the training wheels on bikes. If you're not a gamer, embrace the full Linux experience and cut the crap. I tried Wine and PlayonLinux, back when I decided to keep MS Word inside a Mint machine, because I'm so damn used to it. Not worth the trouble. The installation processes were a pain, and the results were never fully stable. Both W. and P. ended up breaking under pressure, or after updates or upgrades. It's too much effort that should be redirected to integral Linux solutions.

4 It is very usefull. I had some nice windows xp games and I use most of them (80%) effectively in Linux Mint with the wine emulator. You can download such free games here : http://www.freegamepick.com. I can also use some very usefull (for me) windows xp midi applications. The most exciting is that I can use some freeware vst instruments with LMMS.

3 Always hoping for more than it can deliver. Usually can manage to get Window$ programs to sort of function, but only after hours of digging through their website and tweaking. Then only to kill the functionality of the last Window$ program I worked hours to tweak to work under wine. Wish it worked better.
