Hi guys

Recently I was reading few comments on wine forum.. .. I read some Russian gamers has developed custom wine with large dll and directx support , almost any game or programme can easily installed. ...... What are your opinion about this?

Hi there,

honestly, I don't think that's a very clever thing. Even though the announcement may be true, even though it may work:
When I decided to move from Windows to Linux, I did that for a reason. So I wish to use Linux primarily. True, there are occasions were I find that Windows is a better choice. But in these situations, I want to use "real" Windows. Most of the time, a VM with Windows running in it is good enough for the purpose. In case it's not, I fire up the old PC with Windows still installed.

I did try WINE a few times (long ago), but found that it couldn't serve my purposes for most occasions, because the software I wanted to use needed something WINE wouldn't support. Currently, I don't even have it installed on any of my machines.

One can add in real windows dll's if they have them. I'd assume that these reports are simply illegal copies of MS work added in.

@DOCcpu.........yeah i know thats not very cleaver but i'm finding such stuff if someone devloped already, or may be post an alternative, yeah i'm dual booting debian jessie and windows 7........ few games with XINGCODE SECURITY won't run on playonlinux or wine, for some games there will be lot of frame drop hence it becomes un playable, curruntly i'm trying crossover 13 cra**ed version for better performance for adobe ps & CAD, for gaming i've steam on crossover i hope it will work. let see.......

it's been almost 2 year i'm using debian as primary os and perallaly searching for gaming options.

@jefro.... yup dude it's illigle and moreover it's not MS free, some dll's are from MS but yet i'm not able to find it....lol....so now using crossover.

i'm feeling bit foolish because it was WineX i was talking about, also known also Cedga, retired while 2011 thanks to wiki.

I'm currently using Crossover 11, 12, 13 thanks to TPB.Enjoying alot.

Now i'm able to play Need for speed hotpersuit (NFS11) at 60 FPS on Nvidia card,
please keep commenting if you want to know how i did this.

thanks for the valuable comments.

Cheers !!
