Blue Dragon Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I always wanted to switch to Linux (especially scine Ubuntu 8.04 came out, looks sweeeet^^), but as I do a lot of video editing and recently bought the Adobe production bundle, I can't live without those apps and they don't normaly run on Linux. However, I've heard of an app called Wine that lets you run windows programs under linux. Now, programs like the ones of adobe surely have some kind of protection in them, but with thinstall, is to create a single .exe that can be run from everywhere. Do you think it would run well under wine? Wine, as far as I know, doesn't virtualize or emulate the app like VMWare does, so theres almost no difference in speed compared to a windows box. Am I right here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sablefoxx Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 I have not tested a Thinstall app in linux w/wine, but i will look into it and get back to you with the results. Yes, wine does not emulate windows in any way. (Wine Is Not an Emulator) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
