Just wondering... What do you use Wine for?

[Germ]

Odd the Post Answered itself by the itself at the opening question. "Quote I don't use any windows Programs" ? What is wine used for...

No, it did not "answer itself". Apparently you did not read it very well. I know what wine is and what it is used for. I didn't say "What is wine used for" I asked what you use wine for. As in users.

I was just curious what programs people run with wine...

I tried it for Winbox for setting up Mikrotik Routers, but it failed to find any of my networking hardware because the firewall was blocking it. Works flawlessly when Firewall is off, but that's not how I operate, so I started opening ports but the volume of ports I had to open kept growing so I canned it, uninstalled and removed the .wine config, then installed a seriously stripped down Win VM with network pass-thru. It's ugly, but it doesn't leave my front door wide open.

Other than games I have Medieval Cue Splitter, Exact Audio Copy, VidCoder (because handbrake needs some handholding), WinX Youtube Downloader and WinX DVD Ripper. There is also Foobar2k in holding pattern for the day when universal media hotkeys actually works with wine.

Other than annoying payroll, tax, government etc software that only works on windows everything else works natively.
