            Yes because that is more user friendly than running an executable through a built in compatibility layer… suure

              Who tf wants usability when shit just has a solution no matter what. Additionally its an old program that a normal person wouldn’t even try.

              On windows shit just doesn’t work and the solutions are most of the time not even existing.

              If you’re trying to get ancient software to work I think “user friendliness” is the least of your concerns. Especially compared to the alternative (Windows) where the answer is just, “No: That’s not going to work no matter what you do.”

      Tfw compatibility for some old Windows programs and games is better in Wine than in modern Windows

      Most people will need internet connection to Google specific commands to run or install the most trivial things, and it won’t always work depending on what distro you’re using. Oh you’re using MX Linux? Goodluck downloading a Plex client installer and just clicking it to install. Maybe use Snap but then good luck creating a shortcut with just a right click.

      Limux won’t replace Windows anytime soon, not if even enthusiasts need to Google almost everything.

        Bold of you to think I’d install a Plex client when I can just stream video in my terminal with mplayer in glorious ASCII.

        And why would you search the internet when there’s a manual built right in?
