I put that to the test…

or just use windows as the main OS and if privacy is your concern you have Chris titus tools and Windows debloat YES i dosent completely stop the spyware but it does minimize it and lets face it your never really private your smartphones for example you still have to use them for work, friends, family Degoogeling will basically break it if you use android. im not saying to give up im saying be rational about it for example i still use facebook but only for the market place and remain anonymous also i cannot compromise some of te software i use for a open source alternative
If I can get Logitech G HUB to work in linux then I can finally make the switch to linux
Doesn't a virtual machine runing Windows inside of Linux deffeat the pourpose if you are trying to save drive space?
To the People who tryed linux distros that can run android apps, are things like netflix 4k wtc. Working with the app?
Sesetengah program sahaja.
Yep, I checked on the three essential programs I need, Bottles couldn't handle any of them. Vegas Pro.. there is no replacement for it. Tested, rated Grbg for success running them.
Yeah, make a video running Windows 10 in Linux… I bet editing videos inside an emulator though won't be tenable but it's worth a shot.
I'm running Linux Mint in Windows 10 right now using… the free version of VMWare Workstation… because unlike with HyperV… you get working sound.
Office 2013 and 2016 works through wineπ
Personally, I find Lutris is much better. Both are useful, but for me, Lutris
I tried Wine and did not like it because not only did the Windows program not work, but it would not fully uninstall and left a lot of junk behind. My solution is to install Windows in a virtual machine in Virtual Box. This way, you are actually running the program in Windows. The program in question was Adobe Photoshop Elements. No issues, because you are actually running Windows within Linux. I have grown accustomed to Krita so I really don't need to access the VM much anymore. Linux is Linux and Windows is Windows. Best to use the software as it is intended.
windows would be dead if all windows programs can work perfectly fine on linux…….maybe in the future? I dont like they force me to use their microsoft account just to install windows now
7:40 – if I'm not mistaken, there is an unofficial Netflix plugin available for KODI
I liked seeing that the library page of Steam works on Linux Mint with Bottles or WineHQ (I can't remember which). I hope this is a solution to keep playing Rocksmith 2014 if other solutions fail.
If you are a Windows power user, then stick with Windows. For everyone else Linux is an excellent system.
7:03 you made a typo there, but I'm pretty sure there isn't gonna be a difference. Anyway, you can have any websites like Netflix included on your system by using "WebApp Manager", which is basically PWA for Linux.
@Liron Segev what do you think about Pop!_Os by System76 and what do you think about their Linux computers?
Segev, show me howto run windows in my ubuntu system.
I really WANT to like Linux Mint, but at my age (in my 60s), I am struggling with the OS. Everything you do in Linux you have to know what to do with software folders with odd extensions and how to try to open them. (Not accomplishing much on that end.) I know nothing about how to use the terminal or why you have to always put something in it to get software. Is there a simple video, etc…. to show total novices how to get the basics down? TIA!
Convenient
Love Bottles
I'm not trying to be disrespectful in any capacity, but I'm pretty sure if anyone in any capacity was going to install steam, they would have installed it at the software center level, which would give them leaps and bounds greater compatibility than the method in which you showed in this video, as you showed the Windows version of steam working on Linux In spite of their being, a perfectly functional AND In definitely more capable, Linux-native application available via the store. On Linux Mint, how you install it is you go with the Steam installer, which will install Steam and all of its dependencies for you. If you just go with Steam alone, it won't install the Steam devices package which is necessary for some controllers/XR devices on Linux.
Greetings Liron.
I admire your expertise in cybersecurity.
I have two questions hopefully you can answer for me.
#1 Is it vital to reboot your android mobile once an app update is downloaded?
#2 Does having the mobile on the " POWER SAVING " option affect the efficiency of an anti-virus and anti-malware program?
Ty for your anticipated response.
A fan.

I heard you can run Affinity in bottles?
can you set up that windows virtual machine with gpu access? cause if you wanna run video editing stuff, running it in a vm without that won't bring you much joy.
Zorin 17 (Education – with heaps of great apps and programs) comes pre-loaded with Wine – I wouldn't bother with Bottles. Zorin 17 Core will be suitable for the vast majority., although there is a Professional, paid version too. Office Libre is compatible with MS Office and does everything you need it to. Its compatibility makes MS Office suite redundant. I think Zorin is even more "Windows-like" than Mint Cinnamon, and I use both. Zorin is a very familiar environment for Windows users and you actually have to search for the Terminal, if you want to use it, because the apps are all easy to find and install in the Software Store. Everything is much more user-friendly and simple to use… not at all scary.
wow, 7 games on steam. and they're all garbage. barely even games
quickbooks reminds me of sbf lol.
Love this community! β€
What's a solid but not to expensive security suite for linux?
YES! I want to see a vid on running windows on linux SAFELY for newbs! You convinced me to switch to linux but I'm having issues like linux usb won't recognize a raid partitian? Ty! Your awesome!
Love Linux, but this is definitely a major issue for new users.
Linux needs a full featured version, that is built to convert users.
But according to you Linux fan boys Windows is bad so why do you want its apps π€£
I run 4 Windows apps under wine and one under the wine32 prefix created with winetricks. OpenSuse KDE and Solus KDE do this the best, automatically installing wine-mono and wine-gecko, and creating start menu launchers when I double click on the 64bit-app.exe. In the Ubuntu versions this is a lot harder to get right. Solus even gets the temp file limit for a win95/NT installation right. With all others I have to run regedit and edit the path to a smaller partition on a USB stick (for example).
But with 32bit apps I have to run the setup.exe from inside wine – select wine32 – run explorer.exe – navigate to the setup.exe and double click.
I would like to see that virtual Windows environment on Linux as well!
HULU and Netflix apps might be installable on an Android emulator, but whether DRM would work is another question.
I've been struggling for a week to get Antares autotune to work on fl studio 21 through wine running Linux mint . Anyone know how plz tell me
A bit disappointing as I'm looking for a usable Windows10 end of support solution.
Why such a weird name…. I thought Wine was bad enough.
What surprised me was you having all these issues, then somehow knowing you should look at the Wine site, rather than what your using – bottles, A seasoned user probably knows, not a newbie that your referring too.
I've been trying to install Microsoft Office (2016), Wine – no, 'Play on Linux' – no. Bottles – I haven't tried however after watching this video I don't think I'll even bother trying as it seems to be just another game centric toy.
I also tried 'Wine tricks', no joy there either.
As for using a VM, now that would be a nice video, I've tried Windows 7 under VirtualBox, yes it runs but the performance trade-off is hideous. I found QEMU-Virgil in the Ubuntu store, but all I get is a terminal style box of a machine booting that then stops at 'no boot device', no menu options to install a guest OS, no help button, extremely user unfriendly.
HI, I like using Linux, it actually runs better. But the problem I have is that I use Quicken and it isn't supported. That's why I have a dual boot system with Windows 11 for Quicken and everything else is Zorin.
I am more interested in running Android apps on Linux. Can you talk about that?
I am getting emulators from emulator-zone to work on Linux and currently trying to get games like The Sims Complete Collection and Oni Garuda Linux is hella fast compared to Windows 10 I would use their Cinnamon version if you want a SIMILAR Windows 10 layout.
Or even android apps but with out Google since what I read an heard about Google as well just something to think about
It would be cool to run some iOS apps on Linux has any one thought about this one yet ?
Why run MS windows apps in Linux though ?! Microsoft isnβt doing to well we all have to be careful with Microsoft Iβm likeing Linux an Debian stuff like that now I never did understand why would a person run Microsoft windows in Linux just woundering !
All I care about is adobe lol
Nowadays , many software companies were forced to use subscription web.based apps. Checkbook no longer sell application, but ratter subscription to use web-based app. It does not matter anymore what OS you have got in your system
Windows programmes are hit or miss, hoping for a dev to come along and make a real working app that can work all windows apps.. Yeah hoping.. Linux would be top then.
But will it run Crysis? (no)
If you need to run Windows apps, run Windows. Don't fall prey to the cult of the Penguin.
