[Mannish Bhandari]

I saw this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ffjb0Eq0po
which states that windows apps can run be run in linux WINE 

Did anyone try this  try running PB progs in Wine ? and what's your opinions on this WINE ?

Just letting you know that someone saw your post.

I haven't used Linux for 20 years. Never got "a round tuit" to try WINE.

Apparently, the few others who still check-in here don't either.

WINE must be pretty good at most things, or it wouldn't exist anymore.

Thanks for replying!

On the long run I am planning to migrate to Linux Mint Xfce 64-bit. Wine will be the way to go for running all the software I have written in PowerBASIC. This will be a longer project, but I will keep you informed about success and problems.

Cheers,

@Albert, Why  Xfce and not Cinnamon?

@Albert, Why  Xfce and not Cinnamon?

Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment. It doesn’t support as many features as Cinnamon but it’s lighter on resource usage.

I usually prefer light and sleek over feature rich.
