In this video I am going over Windows Programs on Linux using Wine, what it does, and how you can use almost any Windows program on Linux. <br /><br />How to Run Windows Programs on Linux?<br />1. Run a Virtual box inside Linux that is running the full version of Windows<br />2. Run WINE<br /><br />What is it?<br />-WINE is a compatibility layer and stands for WINE IN IS NOT AN EMULATOR!<br />-It translates Windows System Calls to a POSIX-compliant system call that Linux can read<br /><br />Why use it?<br />-Its extremely lightweight and often times programs will run just as well, if not better because of the low overhead. <br /><br />How to use it?<br />-Creating its running environment... called a Wine Bottle. <br />$ WINEARCH=win32 or win64 WINEPREFIX=PATH wine programname<br />-Customizing the environment... using WineTricks or winecfg<br />$ WINEPREFIX=PATH winetricks<br />*Note: Can't undo customizations and packages require installation in a certain order<br />-Common Best Practices<br />1. Using independent bottles for each program<br />2. Killing all Wine Processes<br />3. Only use trusted sources... Windows Viruses also run in Wine<br />4. NEVER use Wine as ROOT or launch via sudo command!<br />-Games and what works great<br />1. DXVK translates games in real-time to from DirectX to Vulkan Currently DX11 and DX10. DX9 support being added this year. <br />2. DX9 and older games can sometimes struggle because they aren't translated fast enough, which leads to poor performance.<br />3.
