Correct, it’s less efficient than Wine, but more compatible. Adobe and Microsoft software still has issues in Wine, so a VM is the best option for them.
To explain some terms in over simplified ways:
VM = Virtual Machine = Making a virtual sandboxed computer that runs full Windows inside it.
Wine = Wine Is Not an Emulator = A translation layer that converts Windows Program Commands into Linux Program Commands.
Wine has to be crafted for every needed Windows command, in order to translate the command into something Linux can understand. So if a program is using a Windows command Wine hasn’t seen before, it’ll fail.
VMs instead run an entire OS, in this case Windows, so that we don’t have to craft every command, as Windows handles the program like normal, and then the VM provides Windows with virtual hardware to work with instead. Naturally, making pretend hardware and running an entire OS inside another OS eats up more resources, so VMs are worse than Wine in that regard.
No. If something runs in Wine, still use that. WinApp is basically a Windows VM combined with some other tools to allow Windows apps on the VM to run more seamlessly and native feeling. It makes picky apps like the Adobe and Microsoft suites happy since it’s using full Windows to run them, but this means there’s more overhead than running an app through Wine or natively.
I would definitely recommend trying WinApps first, which that guide seems to be for. Never tried to get it running on Bazzite/SilverBlue/Universal Blue though, so can’t help you there.
Winapps in Bazzite Portal
Repo: GitHub - winapps-org/winapps: The winapps main project, forked from https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps/ winapps allows Windows applications, running in a Windows VM, to be seamlessly integrated into Linux as if they were running natively. I’m currently talking to a fair few people who are annoyed about the recent Windows debacle. One thing that is stopping them from switching from Windows is Microsoft Office & Adobe support. winapps is relatively complicated to set up and I feel it woul...
From a security standpoint, it means tons of people are requesting unencrypted info from random domains that are possibly no longer controlled by the original owners.
This is just random speculation on possibilities, but somebody could maybe figure out the IP of a suspected pirate for example, setup a dummy tracker, wait for that IP to show up, and then compare any requested hashes against a database of known torrents. How legal and useful in court this could be would depend on the country, but it is a weak point.
At the other end of the spectrum, somebody might find some kind of security vulnerability in a popular client’s tracker interface, and exploit that for malware purposes by setting up a fake tracker, but that’s a bit more of a stretch.
Low effort pull, deletes the problem instead of putting the work in to correct it. /jk
They released EGS Android game store without a library view, still none.
WTF, you’re right. I’m actually in shock. Just, how? How do you not have a way to view purchased content? That’s App Store 101.

My Dark mode was a bit more forgiving.
Apparently that’s a bug according to the dev, so hopefully it gets fixed. Probably a problem with how they implemented the Steam API stuff.
