On Mint - I tried installing WINE and PLAYONLINUX, neither were ever successful. Worst part is I had several ‘partial’ installs left on my system… ick.
So my main question is - should I bother to install playonlinux and/or wine on my new Manjaro system - or just leave well enough alone?
Should I move forward - any recommendations? I really don’t want a failed install leaving pieces .
PlayonLinux is becoming old and is not in the official repos, but in the AUR. PlayonLinux still works, but there are other better alternatives.
As @Hanzel mentioned there is Lutris, but also bottles which is preferred to install as a flatpak (developer decision to prefer it), but the AUR has it also.
If it’s to run Windows software sometimes running a Vm is a better solution. If you post what you want to achieve hopefully we can get you some solutions
Thanks for the great feedback! I had a few ‘minor’ windows only apps (e.g.: garmin connect) - that I was looking at running in Linux - but based on this feedback and my requirements I’ll likely just pass on attempting to run windows apps on my Manjaro laptop.
