Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    But not all Windows apps can be run via Wine, at least some apps related to some tools I’ve had to use were not available

    Then spin up Windows in a VM. It is painless and has unattended installation

    Is this like windows in a window, windows in the cloud, or a dual boot situation?

    It's like Windows in a window. Not just Windows, but you can run many other operating systems in a VM too.

    Yup that’s what I do

    Edit to say that there’s some mouse drivers which don’t work in a VM, at least from my experience but maybe I didnt try hard enough

    Do the 3D mouses work?

    [–] Valmond 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Ya but they won't run in that app either I bet (like photoshop or 3dsmax).

    Maybe, I’d like to see if there’s a difference, but you’re probably right
