Raven runs Windows applications on Linux. You install them with their own installers, the same ones you would use on a PC, and they start: no virtual machine, no winetricks, no DLL overrides.

    That never seems to work with wine

    Wine has nothing to do with double clicking. You can set up your desktop environment to do this if you want. Wine requires environments to run apps (aka wine prefixes), and the way I do it is I reuse one environment as much as I can.

    Nowadays, I just reuse the wine prefixes Heroic creates, since it usually installs a good chunk of dependencies. Lazy, but it works and saves disk space.

      Yeah if you read my other reply I meant it as it often just fails silently with wine, I’ll open an exe, it’ll do something in the background, and then nothing happens. No errors, no explanation of what went wrong…
