WINE / PlayOnLinux (www.playonlinux.com)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by AndrewZabar@lemmy.world to c/linux@lemmy.ml

Hello all, In a previous installation I was able to successfully use PlayOnLinux to run a few Windows apps. My most recent system, though, is not liking it. Currently on Kubuntu 24.04

WINE is present and up to date. However, when I tried to install PON from either Discover, or using APT, the app crashes immediately. I never even get to the GUI. I read on the page for the app in Discover, numerous others complain about this exact problem.

Anyone know about this and how to resolve it?

I included the link to the app's website because there are numerous versions and it states you need to use the correct one. I don't know what those different variables mean, so could someone please advise? (deb files, Cosmic, Trusty, Bionic, Xenial.... etc. I don't understand these).

Thank you to anyone who can assist.

Play on Linux has been succeeded by Lutris or Bottles. I've tried both and personally I have fewer issues with Lutris but Bottles UI is a lot more intuitive. So I'd suggest trying Bottles first and if you run into issues use Lutris.

I’ll give them both a good trial. I actually have had Lutris already for a while and used it a few times.
Thanks!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
