There are multiple Box+Wine distros floating around at the moment. r&#x2F;EmulationOnAndroid likes to talk about <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;olegos2&#x2F;mobox">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;olegos2&#x2F;mobox</a> as having the current best performance compared to Winlator.

My wife is using some custom software to create photo albums, so 99% of tablets don&#x27;t work for her. With this I&#x27;m finally able to give her dream machine: affordable, lightweight and photo making machine.

I wonder if Wine on Windows has been done? Might be better backwards compatibility at this point.

On a similar&#x2F;tangential note about running stuff on wine, does anyone know how to run Microsoft Office, or Netflix (or any similar DRM service like Prime videos) on Linux using wine?<p>I’m seriously considering switching to Linux on a new laptop as someone tired of windows eating resources randomly and I don’t want to install Windows 10 when I get my laptop. I’ve looked at hypervisors and have used hyper x but there still appears to be a performance hit even if the host is Linux (if I’m not mistaken).

Really cool. Just tried it with notepad++ and it seemed to work as expected. Can&#x27;t find a use case for me yet but may come up.

I recently changed my work desktop environment to Linux, however the transition has been a bit rough. The University I work for uses Microsoft OneDrive for file storage and sharing, but won&#x27;t authorize the 3rd party Linux onedrive app. I want the files locally, so the clunky web interface is a no go. I don&#x27;t have a spare wINDOWS LICENSE.<p>There is however an official Android OneDrive app. So I installed an virtual android instance on my Linux workstation and logged in with the Onedrive app...but boom. The Ondrive app will store files locally, but not in the way of the Desktop app. Each file is named something random which is indexed by some database file, and the directory structure is not maintained at all. Making it pretty much unusable without some fix.<p>Its infuriating. A smart programmer might be able to make an interface that translates their directory system to the real one, but ugh.

Is this Box86 running Linux running WINE? That seems convoluted, but it&#x27;s probably the most straightforward right now. Impressive!

Oh this sounds like a potentially fun way to do music production. I wonder how well stuff like Reason and Live might work here.

I&#x27;ve tried to use Wine throughout the decades and still feel delight when and application loads, but I&#x27;ve never once found it usable, due to one glitch or another, with the only exception being a couple video games. I&#x27;m not sure what I&#x27;m doing wrong. My recent attempts have been Fusion 360 and the Remarkable 2 app, both executing but so glitchy that it wasn&#x27;t worth it. I appreciate the effort but it seems like chasing the dragon, at least with desktop apps. It does seem to have gotten a lot of traction with video games though.

Reminds me of the approach for `ExaGear Strategies`. Was a popular way to run Heroes of Might and Magic III on Android.

I wonder if with some tweaking, this could be used to run PC&#x2F;Windows VR software on Android VR Platforms (e.g. Quest).
