Injust made the jump over, I know this is on my pc but I have no idea how to use it
I believe, you just launch a .exe file and it should be the default application that gets started...
Maybe try some GUIs like Bottles or Lutris. If you want a Windows-like experience in Bottles, you need to disable the sandbox, otherwise, you'll have to place files inside the "bottle"(sanbox dir) I'm not sure about Lutris. If you have pure Wine installed and clicking on a .exe file does nothing, you can use the terminal. Just type 'wine pathtoyour.exe,' and it will run(install) inside the ".wine" directory in your home dir. However, remember that using non-sandboxed Wine means Windows programs have full access to your files (just like on Windows), and Wine can also run Windows viruses.
How donI go about running sandboxed wine? I cant see why I wouldnt want everything windows running in a sandbox.
Just in time for FOSDEM :P
Imho, linking to GitLab (source) is the best way to share on Lemmy. However, I see news about the Wine 10 release all day, and these are not shown as crossposts due to different links. Here are some other crossposts:
There's little reason to think you'll need to. Most anything you'll want to do you can use Linux native apps
Uh... except for most games
