I wish I could make a meaningful comment, but I’ve never used Wine and I’m unfamiliar with Windows. Yet I still found this video to be very interesting, which is true of all of your videos, Chris. Always informative, always easy to understand. Thank you.
I switched to Linux Mint a few days ago after decades of using Windows up to Win 7 as I have no interest in Win10. It was a full install on an extra older pc while I become familiar with Linux. Once I'm comfortable, I plan to install Linux to my main pc. Chris's videos and the Linux Mint forum are helping a lot! Thank you.
Between you and Wendell from Level1tech, I have managed to take my main rig to Linux, and game on it! I have flipped almost all my computers to some form of Linux. I look forward to not paying the Microsoft overlords with my data, and my dollars. Thank you for your content, keep up the great work!
Chris, seriously, thank you for this video. The last thing keeping me from using linux as my daily driver was a single program that would not work. With this tutorial I was able to get it working, and now I can finally put my poor old windows laptop to rest. Thanks so much!!!!!!
Pal! you are legend. Actual tutorial style how-to videos and not just some dude reviewing a distro or doing a high level walk through of a program. You've more than earned my subscription and viewership of your content.
I switch to Linux (Lubuntu 19.04 about 1-% CPU usage, 200MB+ RAM idle) for a week now because I need the performance that it provides than Windows (too many unkillable system services 8+% CPU, 1.5GB+ RAM).

I hardly ever leave comments but this video was so mind blowingly helpful to me as a newer linux user that I just had to say thank you! I look forward to more videos on this topic.
Yeah, I started Linux with a lot of Windows Applications running in Wine and slowly transitioned myself. Its a great starting point for a windows user.
This is going to be a fantastic series. Every video in the series will be bookmarked for future use. So when you are looking for program dependencies, do you use the wine webpage or the software manufacturer as the best reference? Also, and I'm just asking for clarification...if DXVK was previously installed on the OS through the terminal, does that still mean it has to be installed for each wine bottle? When I check my version of wine, it says 3.6 which I think is old. What is the terminal command to update it in Arch? You touched on Wine32 and Wine64...when I am installing some dependacies through winetricks, I get errors saying they have issues with 64. Can we install both 32 and 64 and then choose which version to use for applicable software. Lots of questions but curious noob minds want to know. Good Sh*t bro!! Keep producing A+ content.
I'll take a peak at winehq but most times it's wrong. I look at the application requirements and only install those packages. Some applications require quite a bit of trial and error.
Seriously, who presses thumbs down on a tutorial unless is fake info? What exactly is that you didn't like? Anyways, great video! I really needed a concise overview on wine because though i'm using it for some time now, I've never gotten further than just using what "just works". Thanks again
I have been watching your channel for sometime now and delivers good contents. However I do have questions. Window programs need dependencies which Wine steps.-in. 1) What I don't get is how do you findout what dependencies in Wine needed by specific program? Its not like a prompt window will just pop-up and say missing ".dll, directx9 etc." needed to be installed. Most of the time it will do nothing when you start a program. Most new in linux are baffled due to long list of options in Wine to be installed. Plus they will assume all the options showing in a winetricks prompt window are needed but just like you mentioned in you're video "don't start installing everything ...ends up in disaster". So I am curious how did you figure out what specific winetricks dependencies needed to be installed? (ie 7:35) Where Same as building a pc, each motherboard has a specific CPU socket (AMD or Intel) (1150, 1151 , LGA 775 etc). For any newbie will assume any CPU will work, until they realized "it won't fit". Unless he goes to the motherboard website and search for the mobo model and see what model CPU is supported then cross reference with his CPU if it is at the list. Only then it will fit and works.
The program running will throw an error out to you naming the dependency that it could not find a particular method in a particular dll.... in most cases at least. Then you could install that. Running that application again will result in another error for another dll. You could also try the vendors website to look for any dependencies mentioned.
Great video! Many linux youtubers do not advise to use wine in principle. Did you manage to run the latest MS Office in wine? Everywehere i read it is not possible, only office 2010 or 2013 maybe. But that would be a game changer! 😁
2:48 What do you say to someone who uses WINE too much? "Stop WINEing". I love the videos. I've been using Linux for a month now and I first started by educating myself with your videos. I enjoy Linux so much! It's my main OS now.
Another great video thanks for uploading this. I have to say having ditched windows for debian I haven't needed to use any of my old apps enough to warrant trying them in Wine but I might one day when I'm bored. It's a very remarkable piece of software and mighty impressive in what it does! I had to virtualise a failing antique Windows 95 pc some years ago (which is still in use) for some machinery control software. Makes me wonder now if Wine is an option for things running on dead platforms that won't run on modern Windows.
Great video! About DX9 - there's project called D9VK,which translates DX9 to Vulkan. Young project, but you can run now games like Fallout 3. About less overhead - nope, translation between DX to OpenGL is a biggest overhead here, but some software works faster than on Windows
Yup Damian, I am following this project closely and I think it will be ready sometime later this year. Looking forward to DX9 joining the ranks of DX 10/11 on DXVK.

What doesn't work in WINE - audio software from windows, VSTs are horrible to install without a layer, musicians have a horrible time with that problem. Now that was around 2009 2011, is it better now?
Thanks for these great videos. I have been using Linux as my main OS since Windows 8 came out and I wish this video was around back then. Very clear and concise way to do it, it took a lot of trial and error and fumbling around to learn what you put in here back then. Kudos
Finally figured out wine in this video. Was trying for a long time. I was already using Lutris and play on linx, but never ran any programs with just wine.
Hi , great tutorial ! I would suggest 2 improvements : 1) You spend 25% of the video talking about the introduction. That's interesting but i'm here to learn how to setup it up ( which comes to down to the part after around 5:00 where you type code and we can see the result so , as a "beginner" ( I rarely use unix-based system but I've manage to setup a Archlinux distro with the help of a good tutorial) this is the interesting part, this is useful and bring more informations than just reading out documentations that often lack of results that you can use/see whenever the setup fail or you need something specific. 2) you should show (maybe on a separate video) how you "get" wine before running commands to configure it . Let's say that I've tried on my own, made mistakes and then find your video : your tutorial might not work because our programs are not in the same state/configuration (obviously, I need to learn stuff on my own.)
Chris, I have a piece of industrial-type software (from Seagull Scientific) that works with a special thermal, bar-code printer from Toshiba that I use for my business. Because I've only been using Linux Mint 19 since October, I simply haven't been able to figure out Wine. The software only works with Win7 (it was actually written in the Vista days) and will NOT work with Win10 (for that, I have to spend upwards of 400€ to "upgrade" to Windows 10). So this pretty much leaves me in a bind as I really would like to use this Tohshiba/Seagull hardware/software in Linux. I would have to install this from the cd-Rom and along with the software it will want to install special drivers for this industrial-type printer. Do you think this is at all doable under Wine? As a side note I was able to install Win7 as a VM using VirtualBox, and managed after great pain and searching to get it installed and working with the printer. But it is very slow and a little cumbersome. Normally I would just install my copy of Win7 to a separate SSD on my machine and multi-boot with my boot manager, but as we all know Win7 goes extinct starting January 2020 and I won't be able to keep it updated. I do NOT want to use Win10! Any thoughts?
Being new to Linux I haven't tried to run Windows program in it yet, but it is definitely something I want to learn to do. This video was great to get an understanding of what is involved. I am looking forward to future videos on the topic where I find out which dll's etc I would need to check for a particular windows program and where you find that information, for example I am keen to get Nvil running under Linux.
I'm a recent adoptee of Mint 19.3 after almost 40 years of DOS/Windows systems. Dabbled with Ubuntu and Wine years ago and wrecked my system. Tried again a month ago and was happy to find that the current Wine loads and runs my essential Quicken just fine. Fine wine! But at age 73, and with the memory of crashing a system, I have not and do not intend to venture into Terminal. Fortunately, the new Wine functions with point and click installations and uses.
I would love to see a setup video and/or a gameplay video for Final Fantasy XI. I miss playing that game. I was looking at the DarkstarProject, but I haven't set it up myself; not sure if the client would work in Wine with the modifications that are required to connect to those servers. Also, do you use Windower at all and does it work in Wine?
I use Ashita instead since it's injector is wine friendly. Ill make a video going over the setup. I love it, I have been streaming it lately on twitch. I'm about to do another stream later tonight with ffxi.
Am I right in recalling you saying in one of your tutorials that you have Dreamweaver3 fully working on Wine? I have it running under Crossover but it does not display the CSS markup which means it's not that functional. Would be great to have some tips or a video on that please. The old Macromedia Dreamweaver3 still gets a lot of love compared to Adobe's later efforts on it.
Thanks for the update. I think that I will try playing with Wine again. Last time I was trying to get an old app running which was acutely 2 apps in one. Each app would try to work but needed the second app to work correctly. Maybe by making one bottle with both apps in side??? Anyways thanks for the great start. Mark
Thanks for explaining about the .Net installation issues. It is something I never knew about before and I think it is responsible for messing up my wine game prefix
Hi Chris, i know im a bit late to the party. I recendly switched to Linux and have a question related to Wine, i could not get an answer yet. Im using Manjaro KDE and have installed Wine already on it. My Windows Applications are running just fine, but i noticed one thing. I work with 3D Apps like Poser and Daz Studio. In this programs you can change the surface of an object by adding textures, mostly JPG files. I usually open the file browser/manager and search for my texture folder. Inside this folder i choose the texture i need and to do so, i need the thumbnails enabled. Dolphin has this feature build in, but it seems, the file browser in wine has not. I would assume, that this is the same in Photoshop or MS Office, like if you put a picture in a Text Document. Is there a solution for this, you are aware of? Sorry for my bad english, it is not my native language. Greetings from Germany
Thanks. This is a complete different perspective than I had before. So you run a standard bottle against your programs and create a custom one when you need to fine-tune toward s the program you want to run? .. Is that well understood?
Great introduction to Wine in Linux. Thanks. (Unix user since 1980:th and Linux since mid 1990:th) Which version of wine did you use? How did you install it? I guess you have a video about that too, would be greate if you had a link to that video too. Sorry if I missed it.) (Would have been great if you also spent 30 s showing how to put this in a script, but I guess that is in next vide. Or you have already done that. :-) )
Thanks for this Chris. I'm just starting off in Linux and have already pretty thoroughly screwed this up. I was hoping you could provide a vid on installing proprietary drivers in Linux as well. Like a driver for a Digi Edgeport USB/Serial converter for instance, not to get too specific.
Hey Chris, some questions regarding Wine. I mentioned this before but I use Origin to play Battlefield games and Battlefront 2. I use Lutris to try to get the best performance, however, using Lutris to install those games, it installs Origin for every game (which blows). Can I set up a wine bottle to run Origin and then install all my games inside that bottle to launch? I like Lutris, but I hate installing 4 separate instances of Origin. Maybe there is a better way to use Lutris with Origin but I haven't figured it out yet. I see you run Anthem, maybe you can share your insights regarding Origin. Sorry for the long post!
ive wanted to run linux exclusively for months i know dual booting is a thing but id rather have 1 or the other but the only 2 games i play will not work at all on linux 1 wont even install
You said that you usually use 64 bit for games and 32 bit for apps, is it bad to have a single 64 bit architecture wine bottle for multiple apps and games?
Hello Chris, I am an Autodesk Autocad user, I am determined to migrate completely to Linux, I have been using linux Mint since the beginning of this year and using Autocad 2018 with Windows installed on VirtualBox, but I lose a lot of performance, would I be able to have Autocad 2018 running on Linux Mint or other distribution with Wine? What is your opinion? Could you help me on this issue? A video on this issue would be very interesting as there are many people with this problem. best regards.
Would love to see a guide on how to get Adobe Photoshop and Creative Cloud working on Linux. I would switch fully to Linux but for work and hobby stuff as a graphic designer I have found that Gimp just doesn't have all the features that I'm used to. Is there a distro of Linux that is optimized for WINE? I tried Linux Mint 19 and had no luck with getting windows programs installed because they couldn't connect to the Internet even though Linux had a connection.
So, getting a used desktop tower, and want to install the most user-friendy, windows-like distor. I know of Mint, and have used it before, and it is wonderful. Is it the best, though?
Being able to play Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and program in Quickbasic were two of the only things that kept me from going over to Linux completely. Then I discovered Wine and Dosbox. Purists: let that sink in for a moment. On the subject of Wine Bottles: I have a folder in my home directory called "Wine and Dosbox" that has subfolders for each of my Windows and DOS programs--at least, the ones I just run directly under Wine without having to "install" them. Those programs and all their associated save files and other data go with me when I distro-hop. The ones I do have to "install" show up in a Wine entry in my menu anyway :D But those, unfortunately, do not carry over when I distro-hop, and must be reinstalled on the other end.
Do Wine bottles end dependency conflicts on programs? Will they also help with games? - (I also play old Dos games that require older versions of direct X. Wine tricks X9 isn't going to help me.) I still wold not know how to setup a Wine bottle.
Can you explain how to setup two NVDIA video cards in Linux. I cant seem to find the xorg.conf file to update it for two video cards. It should be in the /ect/X11/xorg.conf This is making switching to linux a real pain. I added the file to the /ect/X11/xorg.conf , but the NVIDIA config program said that it does not have permission to write to it.
Soooo...I just want to use my old Fujitsu Scansnap scanner with associated Scansnap Manager software. There is no Linux driver package available. Is Wine an answer for me?
Recently moved onto Linux Mint from Windows 7 and have a lot to learn. Missing Office 365! have you a specific video on how to get this onto Linux Mint. Thanks in advance!
Hey Chris, can you do a video on installing and using a program called darling? Its wine's cousin. lol Thanks man. Like always, keep on producing great content!
I work for a children's non profit that uses a program called procare that is windows only. All of the admin people use Macs though. I saved them some money by switching from parralels to virtual box but it's still not ideal to constantly run a VM on a MacBook air with 2 physical cores and limited ram. I don't personally own a Mac but I want to mess with wine and see if I can procare running using that. If I can get it working in a wine bottle on Linux at home,will it work the exact same way on a Mac?
thanks this was realy helpful um question though could you test this with steam without using protons especially games that cant use them properly eg SFV Overwatch
Im using Lubuntu. Writing in the console: winearch=win32 wineprefix=~/wine/testbottle winetricks and get response: You are using a 64-bit WINEPREFIX. Note that many verbs only install 32-bit versions of packages. If you encounter problems, please retest in a clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX before reporting a bug. What am i missing?
Why would a developer want mix so many vcrun*-libraries? I know that it takes a few years (4?) to develop a game but why use more than 2/3 libraries? And even then, how about changing the code where necessary to only use the latest version? It might prevent install-errors?
Hey Chris great Video!! Quick question. I have wine, and one of the program that I wish I can use in linux being from windows, every time I try to run it a windows pops up saying that. WINDOWS HOSTING IS DISABLED. And it won't run it. Any help with that. Will be appreciated.
I didn't really find this useful. Winetricks has lots of settings, but how do I determine what I need to enable without just setting what Chris sets and hope that it works. Is there a way to determine the dependencies of each piece of Windows software that I might want to use? My biggest issue with Linux was an email client with a similar feel to Outlook because most Linux offerings replicate the god awful Thunderbird monstrosity. There were one or two that almost worked, but then I found BlueMail and use it cross platform, so no requirement for Windows software now! Thanks for the attempt Chris, but I think I'll have to look elsewhere if I want to understand WINE.
I used to run Lotus Notes (ugh. an IBM-acquired monstrosity) on Linux via WINE. It actually ran much better on WINE/Linux than natively on Windows, and I didn't need the cleanup batch script to clean up all of the leftover processes after Notes would crash or hang.
Great video as usual! Is it true that having wine installed on a linux system carries the risk of getting infected by viruses from outside of the winebottles? Like from email attachments? The thought might be that linux now can use Win executables.
Not really, you would have to open that attachment and select run in Wine for this to happen. That is just fear mongering. You have to specify to run the application in Wine or it would have to default to open up in Wine.

Chris, I have a piece of industrial-type software (from Seagull Scientific) that works with a special thermal, bar-code printer from Toshiba that I use for my business. Because I've only been using Linux Mint 19 since October, I simply haven't been able to figure out Wine. The software only works with Win7 (it was actually written in the Vista days) and will NOT work with Win10 (for that, I have to spend upwards of 400€ to "upgrade" to Windows 10). So this pretty much leaves me in a bind as I really would like to use this Tohshiba/Seagull hardware/software in Linux.
I would have to install this from the cd-Rom and along with the software it will want to install special drivers for this industrial-type printer. Do you think this is at all doable under Wine? As a side note I was able to install Win7 as a VM using VirtualBox, and managed after great pain and searching to get it installed and working with the printer. But it is very slow and a little cumbersome.
Normally I would just install my copy of Win7 to a separate SSD on my machine and multi-boot with my boot manager, but as we all know Win7 goes extinct starting January 2020 and I won't be able to keep it updated. I do NOT want to use Win10! Any thoughts?
Being new to Linux I haven't tried to run Windows program in it yet, but it is definitely something I want to learn to do. This video was great to get an understanding of what is involved. I am looking forward to future videos on the topic where I find out which dll's etc I would need to check for a particular windows program and where you find that information, for example I am keen to get Nvil running under Linux.
Try the ldd command
This makes so much sense! Thank you!
"Wine I love, I use it daily, there's not a day that goes by where I'm not using the crap out of wine."
This is such an informative video. Thanks Chris!
I'm a recent adoptee of Mint 19.3 after almost 40 years of DOS/Windows systems. Dabbled with Ubuntu and Wine years ago and wrecked my system. Tried again a month ago and was happy to find that the current Wine loads and runs my essential Quicken just fine. Fine wine! But at age 73, and with the memory of crashing a system, I have not and do not intend to venture into Terminal. Fortunately, the new Wine functions with point and click installations and uses.
If the Linux Association needs a President it should be You. Thanks for making things understandable
It would be great if you managed to get Adobe Premiere, Autocad, 3ds Max, etc. industry standard software's working in Wine.
I'd like to see this too.
I just recently installed Pop OS, I am really liking it so far.
I would love to see a setup video and/or a gameplay video for Final Fantasy XI. I miss playing that game.
I was looking at the DarkstarProject, but I haven't set it up myself; not sure if the client would work in Wine with the modifications that are required to connect to those servers.
Also, do you use Windower at all and does it work in Wine?
I use Ashita instead since it's injector is wine friendly. Ill make a video going over the setup. I love it, I have been streaming it lately on twitch. I'm about to do another stream later tonight with ffxi.
Am I right in recalling you saying in one of your tutorials that you have Dreamweaver3 fully working on Wine? I have it running under Crossover but it does not display the CSS markup which means it's not that functional. Would be great to have some tips or a video on that please. The old Macromedia Dreamweaver3 still gets a lot of love compared to Adobe's later efforts on it.
Can you edit videos, animate (using after effects) or produce music using wine?
Thanks for the update.
I think that I will try playing with Wine again.
Last time I was trying to get an old app running which was acutely 2 apps in one.
Each app would try to work but needed the second app to work correctly.
Maybe by making one bottle with both apps in side???
Anyways thanks for the great start.

Thanks for explaining about the .Net installation issues. It is something I never knew about before and I think it is responsible for messing up my wine game prefix
Hi Chris, i know im a bit late to the party.
I recendly switched to Linux and have a question related to Wine, i could not get an answer yet.
Im using Manjaro KDE and have installed Wine already on it.
My Windows Applications are running just fine, but i noticed one thing.
I work with 3D Apps like Poser and Daz Studio.
In this programs you can change the surface of an object by adding textures, mostly JPG files.
I usually open the file browser/manager and search for my texture folder.
Inside this folder i choose the texture i need and to do so, i need the thumbnails enabled.
Dolphin has this feature build in, but it seems, the file browser in wine has not.
I would assume, that this is the same in Photoshop or MS Office, like if you put a picture in a Text Document.
Is there a solution for this, you are aware of?
Sorry for my bad english, it is not my native language.
Greetings from Germany
Great intro to WINE!
This is a must for steam decl users
Thanks. This is a complete different perspective than I had before. So you run a standard bottle against your programs and create a custom one when you need to fine-tune toward s the program you want to run? .. Is that well understood?
Thank you for a rational video on the subject!
Excellent, thank you!
Great introduction to Wine in Linux. Thanks.
(Unix user since 1980:th and Linux since mid 1990:th)
Which version of wine did you use? How did you install it? I guess you have a video about that too, would be greate if you had a link to that video too. Sorry if I missed it.)
(Would have been great if you also spent 30 s showing how to put this in a script, but I guess that is in next vide. Or you have already done that. :-) )
Thanks for this Chris. I'm just starting off in Linux and have already pretty thoroughly screwed this up. I was hoping you could provide a vid on installing proprietary drivers in Linux as well. Like a driver for a Digi Edgeport USB/Serial converter for instance, not to get too specific.
I couldn't get Amibroker and Interactive Broker TWS to work. Can someone help me out with this, noob here.
Hey Chris, some questions regarding Wine. I mentioned this before but I use Origin to play Battlefield games and Battlefront 2. I use Lutris to try to get the best performance, however, using Lutris to install those games, it installs Origin for every game (which blows). Can I set up a wine bottle to run Origin and then install all my games inside that bottle to launch? I like Lutris, but I hate installing 4 separate instances of Origin. Maybe there is a better way to use Lutris with Origin but I haven't figured it out yet. I see you run Anthem, maybe you can share your insights regarding Origin. Sorry for the long post!
Ty chris truely love your videos
ive wanted to run linux exclusively for months i know dual booting is a thing but id rather have 1 or the other but the only 2 games i play will not work at all on linux 1 wont even install
You said that you usually use 64 bit for games and 32 bit for apps, is it bad to have a single 64 bit architecture wine bottle for multiple apps and games?
Hello Chris, I am an Autodesk Autocad user, I am determined to migrate completely to Linux, I have been using linux Mint since the beginning of this year and using Autocad 2018 with Windows installed on VirtualBox, but I lose a lot of performance, would I be able to have Autocad 2018 running on Linux Mint or other distribution with Wine? What is your opinion? Could you help me on this issue? A video on this issue would be very interesting as there are many people with this problem.
best regards.
How would I find a coder to write a Wine bottle for a small program - the Rodecaster Pro companion app. It's basically a file transfer program.
Awesome video, thank you!
Would love to see a guide on how to get Adobe Photoshop and Creative Cloud working on Linux. I would switch fully to Linux but for work and hobby stuff as a graphic designer I have found that Gimp just doesn't have all the features that I'm used to. Is there a distro of Linux that is optimized for WINE? I tried Linux Mint 19 and had no luck with getting windows programs installed because they couldn't connect to the Internet even though Linux had a connection.
i played around for a whole day in wine and i got corel draw x7 to work in zorin core 16 i needed this video
Hi Chris, can you show us how to install tkglitch wine in lutris?
So, getting a used desktop tower, and want to install the most user-friendy, windows-like distor. I know of Mint, and have used it before, and it is wonderful. Is it the best, though?
Being able to play Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and program in Quickbasic were two of the only things that kept me from going over to Linux completely. Then I discovered Wine and Dosbox. Purists: let that sink in for a moment.
On the subject of Wine Bottles: I have a folder in my home directory called "Wine and Dosbox" that has subfolders for each of my Windows and DOS programs--at least, the ones I just run directly under Wine without having to "install" them. Those programs and all their associated save files and other data go with me when I distro-hop. The ones I do have to "install" show up in a Wine entry in my menu anyway :D But those, unfortunately, do not carry over when I distro-hop, and must be reinstalled on the other end.
Do Wine bottles end dependency conflicts on programs? Will they also help with games? - (I also play old Dos games that require older versions of direct X. Wine tricks X9 isn't going to help me.) I still wold not know how to setup a Wine bottle.
So do we need a wine bottle for every application or can multiple applications share the same bottle?
Can you explain how to setup two NVDIA video cards in Linux. I cant seem to find the xorg.conf file to update it for two video cards. It should be in the /ect/X11/xorg.conf This is making switching to linux a real pain. I added the file to the /ect/X11/xorg.conf , but the NVIDIA config program said that it does not have permission to write to it.

have fun
Chris, what about the USPS postal assistant. Which requires internet access?
Soooo...I just want to use my old Fujitsu Scansnap scanner with associated Scansnap Manager software. There is no Linux driver package available. Is Wine an answer for me?
Recently moved onto Linux Mint from Windows 7 and have a lot to learn.
Missing Office 365! have you a specific video on how to get this onto Linux Mint.
Thanks in advance!
Hey Chris, can you do a video on installing and using a program called darling? Its wine's cousin. lol Thanks man. Like always, keep on producing great content!
It's look Soo easy . Thanks for your videos
I work for a children's non profit that uses a program called procare that is windows only. All of the admin people use Macs though. I saved them some money by switching from parralels to virtual box but it's still not ideal to constantly run a VM on a MacBook air with 2 physical cores and limited ram. I don't personally own a Mac but I want to mess with wine and see if I can procare running using that. If I can get it working in a wine bottle on Linux at home,will it work the exact same way on a Mac?
The one windows program to use to check wine out is roots magic 8 and is probably the only reason I haven't totally abandoned Microsoft Windows.
thanks this was realy helpful um question though could you test this with steam without using protons especially games that cant use them properly eg SFV Overwatch
Im using Lubuntu.
Writing in the console: winearch=win32 wineprefix=~/wine/testbottle winetricks and get response:
You are using a 64-bit WINEPREFIX. Note that many verbs only install 32-bit versions of packages. If you encounter problems, please retest in a clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX before reporting a bug.
What am i missing?
Why would a developer want mix so many vcrun*-libraries? I know that it takes a few years (4?) to develop a game but why use more than 2/3 libraries? And even then, how about changing the code where necessary to only use the latest version? It might prevent install-errors?
No idea, but some of them mix and match a TON of the vcrun libraries. The only thing I can think of is laziness.

That was my first thought, I wanted to ask first before judging.
Cool video, I enjoy using wine on linux
Also there’s someone that actually installed wine on windows 10 using WSL.
Vary nice thanks for your videos
Hey Chris great Video!! Quick question. I have wine, and one of the program that I wish I can use in linux being from windows, every time I try to run it a windows pops up saying that. WINDOWS HOSTING IS DISABLED. And it won't run it. Any help with that. Will be appreciated.
Great video! But you forgot how to explain one of the most important things. After installation, how to run the program? Thanks!
I didn't really find this useful. Winetricks has lots of settings, but how do I determine what I need to enable without just setting what Chris sets and hope that it works. Is there a way to determine the dependencies of each piece of Windows software that I might want to use?
My biggest issue with Linux was an email client with a similar feel to Outlook because most Linux offerings replicate the god awful Thunderbird monstrosity. There were one or two that almost worked, but then I found BlueMail and use it cross platform, so no requirement for Windows software now!
Thanks for the attempt Chris, but I think I'll have to look elsewhere if I want to understand WINE.
Thanks for the honest video. For a 3D CAD Design guy, unfortunately Linux and popular 3D CAD program such as Rhino and Keyshot does not mix well.
How do You install a DVD rom?
Is it even possible?
Or does wine only work with images?
How do you install wine? is wine and wine tricks same?
What do you do if the 'exe.' file you want to run doesn't show up in the 'Winetricks' list?
I used to run Lotus Notes (ugh. an IBM-acquired monstrosity) on Linux via WINE. It actually ran much better on WINE/Linux than natively on Windows, and I didn't need the cleanup batch script to clean up all of the leftover processes after Notes would crash or hang.
Great video as usual! Is it true that having wine installed on a linux system carries the risk of getting infected by viruses from outside of the winebottles? Like from email attachments? The thought might be that linux now can use Win executables.
Not really, you would have to open that attachment and select run in Wine for this to happen. That is just fear mongering. You have to specify to run the application in Wine or it would have to default to open up in Wine.
@@ChrisTitusTech Thanks! I love your videos! Play Shadow of War thanks to you. To the question of a too stable OS (recent video): it is a good thing! Less distro centric videos, more program specific content -> More help to actually get work done! Thanks again for all your work!
Great job! Keep it up.
I tried, but when I enter the command "$ WINEARCH=win32 or win64 WINEPREFIX=PATH wine programname" it says "The command 'programname' can't be found".
How do you think about CrossOver vs. wine? Is it necessary to deal with CrossOver at all? What is your experience?
Great video, very informative.
Hi professor. On wine can use java?
Thanks for the tutorial, something to know how to do.
You Rock!! Everything well explained and I am now running elementary which perform far better than Windows!
I know this will probably will be a huge NO. But can you install hardware drivers, like audio drivers, that are only available for windows with wine?
