Wine, software that allows running programs from Windows on Linux, Mac, FreeBSD - video tutorial

Hi friends, today's tutorial we will talk about Wine, a software that allows applications running Windows operating systems Mac OS X, Linux and FreeBSD. Wine is an open source documentation and whose content is created by users more ordinary and less by its developers. If I enter the official site Wine, will meet AppDB section (Aplication Data Base) where to find the main list 3 Windows applications that can run on Linux, Mac OSX and FreeBSD through his Wine. The three main lists are:
Platinum - applications that are supposed to run out of the box, without problems
Gold - applications that will run but will need some slightly more special configurations
Silver - applications that will run well but some options we may not be able to use
These lists and tests for applications that are supposed to function Wine coiling them, are made by ordinary users on different Linux distributions and versions of Wine. The site is very well documented and clear instructions in English on how to install and how you can make Windows application to run through Wine.
Even so, when you want to install a Windows application using Wine print advise you do not take good read everything on the site Wine only as reference. Im case Windows application you want to install is not in any of the lists mentioned above, this does not mean that the application will not work, you need to test and try to see if it runs or not. Nothing that is on the official Wine is not set in stone and if you want to use a specific application, you have to try and convince yourself if the application will run. There will be times when you come across applications that will run very well, just like a native application and will give and more applications that will run very hard, which will lag (applications that respond late). It can happen to finish installing an application and a few seconds after its launch, making it crash, simply to close without any warning or error message.
In conclusion, if you want to use Wine, you will have to ask left and right if the application you want to run will work, you will have to do "digging" on Google, enter and read on forums about how they have proceeded by others to make the application run. In addition to all this, I also recommend installing it PlayOnLinux are intended to autmatizeze installation of outbuildings or scriputri more special for Gold and Silver Application category
Wine not recommend this application at all, beginners who have just stepped into the world of Linux rather, is an application for the most advanced who know what I'm doing or what they want to do. For beginners I recommend rather a dual boot with Windows and Linux, when you need Windows applications, to boot into the Windows operating system and use it or, I recommend using his VirtualBoxA virtual environment that allows you to run any version of Windows operating system Linux, so you can install your favorite applications in a virtual environment without affecting the Linux operating system. That said, I invite you to watch video tutorial!

  • It mentioned that the Wine are other commercial software (which are actually opening weekends for Wine) and Bordeaux, Cedega and CrossOver designed specifically to run some games. All 3 were actually based on the same core as they added only Wine proprietary code and provides software for sale

  • After all, it's easier to install a windows than to use linux, what do they like about linux? What makes linux more beautiful than windows I liked the very nice tutorial !!!: - bd

    • Liviu: Eventually it easier to install your using a Windows than they like to linux linux? What has more windows than Mia liked tutorial frumoslinux very nice !!!: - bd  

      The problem should not be seen that way. Since you want to run Linux you need to know and understand that it is another operating system and that Linux is NOT WINDOWS. If you decide to use Linux, you will need to use Linux applications. If you want to use Windows applications in Linux, then why do you put Linux? stay on windows! or "call" dual boot or VirtualBox. I don't see the meaning and logic of switching to Linux, but you stubbornly want to use Windows applications .... you will only make your mind tired and have dark days ...

    • Liviu: Eventually it easier to install your using a Windows than they like to linux linux? What has more windows than Mia liked tutorial frumoslinux very nice !!!: - bd  

      Linux is not completely free as Windows XP 7 or :)) and one last thing on linux not filled with the virus do not even need antivirus ptr no linux viruses actually I do not know to be Ubuntu's virusi.infine Betooni play hard and it's free !!! Adrian knows I only 1% more :))

      • Gepeto:
        On linux it's all free not like on Windows 7 or XP) and there's more stuff on linux don't fill yourself with viruses you don't even need antivirus because there are no viruses for linux actually I don't know if they are viruses. Finally Ubuntu is betoon and the hard phase is free !!! Adrian knows more I only 1%)  

        - Not everything is free on linux
        - There are viruses on Linux as well (not viruses are dangerous but fools who keep their passwords from bank accounts in their computer, who do not take protective measures)
        - Learn, learn, learn, he once said (it was the only good thing he said / did).
        I would complete: Gooogali, gooogali ...

  • First I want to thank you for the great work they submit to the achievement of tutorials, I have much to learn from you but still not clear to me what so much trouble with linux and here I refer to all versions when the windows it is much easier and just as you said Adrian are plenty of windows applications that we can not break the mundane but necessary zilnc.Nu for others to want to sound critical to u what not, she place.Atat each use I rugaminte to you to tell me the advantages of using Linux as disadvantages over tot.Va give thanks, greet and respect!

      There are many advantages and disadvantages all so much. No operating system is perfect, no operating system that do not crash ever, that does not give trouble, that does not have viruses or that can not be hacked or penetrated.
      The Linux problem is actually the user's because they often have Windows tabs in mind. The user is to blame because before switching to Linux, he does not document himself, he does not first look to see if or not there are applications that he needs, for linux. A Windows user, if you give him an Ubuntu in front of him, the first thing he will do is most likely, to open the browser and try to download yahoo messenger, he finally manages to download it and learned from his windows click licka ... click on the downloaded file and see that it does not run, nothing happens without even reading a little before switching to linux, about this system, about how it works, about how it is installed software on it.
      Yet, if before fleeing the net to download yahoo messenger, should click on the menu would see that he Pidgin, instant messaging client already installed they can log on yahoo messenger on any ids like at the same time, google talk, mSN and other protocols, all from a single list, would see that already has audio player installed video player already installed, eitor video already installed, client download torrent already installed mail client already installed, client facebook and twitter already installed, open office suite office already installed, photo manager already installed firefox browser already installed.

  • Good tutorial Adi, you're a good man. I don't understand why so much hassle to install utorrent, when for linux there are a lot of applications for websharing, I use KTorrent, you still download it. As you said those who do not detach from Windows applications to stay at Windows, or choose the other alternative: each Windows program has an alternative in Linux, so everyone has a choice, just give up the Windows obsession. Wine is useful and it can sometimes when you urgently need a Windows application or in other circumstances, but not to use it daily and run games, Microsoft Office or other resource-intensive programs. Respect Adriane, you kept your word, on this occasion I also remind Cristi that he promised us a sequel to the tutorial "How to put MSdos on the stick". Thank you again. :)

    • SideBySide: Adi good tutorial, you are a man of his word, good job. I do not understand why all the hassle pt installing uTorrent for Linux when there are a lot of applications for websharing, I use KTorrent, download everything you do with it. As you said those who do not come off Windows applications to remain in Windows, or choose the other alternative: every Windows program has an alternative in Linux, so everyone has a choice, just to give up the obsession Windows. Wine is useful and he may sometimes when you urgently need a Windows application or in other circumstances, but never to use it daily and run games or other Microsoft Office program not resource intensive. Adriane respect you'd kept his word, on this occasion too Cristi ii remember that we promised a sequel to the tutorial "How to MSDOS chicken stick." Thank you again.   

      I did the tutorial because I don't want to have a full conscience plus, everyone "drove me crazy" at the tutorial with Photoshop on Ubuntu, that they want the Wine tutorial. I know that this tutorial has disappointed / disarmed many enthusiastic linuxists but as I said in the video tutorial, I will not lie and I will never flourish about a truth, no matter how much I like linux. I see a lot of users on the Romanian forum ubuntu.ro who turn you around and twist and steam you that you can do that and the other and that everything is so beautiful on linux, everything works perfectly as if someone would give them money if they succeed to Convert a Windows User to Linux | I will not do this for the sake of Linux. Where he is good, I will admit, where he is not, and where things are squeaking, I will be just as honest and I will say this. That means being impartial, but many have not heard of this word. For me, Wine is an illusion and a point

  • I want something I can run Linux applications on Linux servers windows.Sa can install under Windows. Do you understand what I mean. If I want to install apache on linux and linux At the same time we windows

    But something like Ubuntu Portable Ubuntu Karmic ala uses a virtual machine

  • This tutorial felt an improvement in the way of explanation, even if it can not be seen. One thousand more I liked how everything was a bit more concise and to the point, and I learned a few things about this app very useful. Most often follow with great pleasure these tutorials even know what it is. Congratulations for your hard work!

    • M.Marian: In this tutorial felt an improvement in the way of explanation, even if it can not be seen.

      I wanted the tutorial to be as explicit as possible because I saw on many sites all kinds of "tutorials" made by others and with all the modesty that I can even say they were made in mockery, 10 minute tutorials and no one emphasized the important aspects and what to consider or what we need to know when we want to use a wine application. Nobody mentioned the 3 Platinum, Gold and Silver lists, nobody gave details about where you can find help or indications regarding the applications you want to install through Wine.

      If you know English, you see that no software that awakens the shutdown say no, says the site clearly states that only awakens from sleep and hibernation.
