I was a beta tester for Corel Linux back in the day as well still have my Corel inflatable penguin in a box on a shelf here(haven't had it inflated for a long time). Even today I have a Windows VM running in Vmware workstation 24/7 on my main laptop for windows things, have been doing that for over 10 years at this point, much better solution than using something like wine, even if the underlying windows OS in the VM is past support dates. I played a lot with Wine in the late 90s/early 00s, seeing what could run and stuff but I gave up at some point, found more native Linux apps or just used a VM or another system to run some important windows app(s). Last time I really touched it was with Cedega, which according to Wikipedia that service was retired in 2011 I probably stopped using it maybe 2008 or 2009(haven't played many games period since, most hours I have played since have been on PS4).īut I'd never, ever suggest some business org use wine to run some app(s) just so they could leverage linux on the desktop, support nightmare for almost any IT team out there(I don't do desktop support).ĭifferent story if they are using wine to port their apps to linux or something. A bigger problem than that probably is document compatibility(WRT office 2003).
