An actual real video of WINE anytime I attempt to use it to run a windows executable. (cdn.transfem.social)

I've been considering it. Right now I'm on Pop!_OS as I use a System76 laptop. It's based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS which is pretty old at this point. Which distro would you recommend for best WINE preconfigured and up to date install?

Try bottles from flatpak

Giving it a shot! TY for the suggestion.

Nobara is fedora with some gaming spesific tweaks and latest kernel and drivers, it works really well for me and is from a reputable person (Glorious eggroll creator of proton ge and a red hat employee). I have been having a blast with it for almost half a year now.

One more question, thank you by the way for helping. Would Nobara be a bit bloated for me considering I don't really game or even have an Nvidia card? I just use an Intel 13th Gen i7 with onboard graphics. Would a different distro with wine preconfigured be better without all that extra stuff like steam/Nvidia compat pre installed? If so which would you recommend?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

nvidia compat and steam aren't pre installed (unless you use the nvidia iso) but you are given an option to install it on the wellcome pop up probably same for steam. You could try to install wine while looking at a tutorial on any distro or just install lutris or bottles on your distro and use wine trough that

Nobara comes with WINE 9 preconfigured?

systemwide, click on .exe and go brr version is on 8.20 staging at the moment, but I am running mod organizer 2 with wine 9 using lutris (bottles would work too). I even added a .desktop shortcut for it using lutris so I can open it by searching it like a native linux program.
