Are there any windows non-game programs that work with proton? - Lemmy.world

I’m far from an expert but I believe Proton is specifically intended to provide compatability with Windows gaming tech like DirectX.

For regular non-game software you don’t need that tech, you can just run it through Wine itself (Proton is built on Wine). Bottles is actually what I see recommended these days (it simplifies management of Wine prefixes) and supposedly many apps can run in a few clicks.

On top off my head is the old non UWP version of Photoscape which I use from time to time to do basic edits.

Then Finale notepad for music transcribing stuff

I use to use MSOffice 2007 but recently I have switched to OnlyOffice

Although most of them, or atleast what I know off, are made for older version of windows

Photoscape

Is there are modern web alternative for that? lemmy.world/post/8834365

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/8834324 [https://lemmy.world/post/8834324] > I’m looking for an application (windows or maybe web) that can be used to combine images vertically and horizontally. I usually go with PhotoScape (screenshot) to for this but that’s not free nor updated anymore. Important features for me are to be able to combine horizontally or vertically, set the number or rows or columns and have the ability to resize the final image. > > Thank you.

I’m pretty sure there are wine builds with all the proton enhancements that aren’t in normal wine yet. I feel like I saw in lutris or bottles or both but you can surely get it other ways too.
Not strictly proton, but for wine, you can see here (appdb.winehq.org) that it supports more than just games.
WineHQ - Wine Application Database

Open Source Software for running Windows applications on other operating systems.

Notpad++ works in Wine. And I used to run JMP 10 with wine too (data plotting software). Neither required Proton though.
Lots, but if they interface with usb (like an image writer or mouse software) it won’t work.
I dunno about Proton but I’d assume do. I have some CAD and 3D software I use in Wine.
