Maybe this will help with my problem. I finally made the switch, and so far only one niche piece of software won't open no matter what I've tried. Every proton, proton tricks, lutris, bottles, Ubuntu based, fedora based, arch based. Nothing seems to matter, and the only thing I can think of is trouble with dotnet. Anyways, glad to see an update!
I have occasionally found software that was compiled assuming specific CPU instructions that aren't present on every CPU. It might be worth looking in to this.
I'll take a look at it. Maybe I can ask the creator if that might be an issue. Thank you for the help!
Just saw this today! https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps. It runs a full vm but integrates it natively as far as I understand, but it can run w/e with a bit of performance loss.
You're a fucking champ! I'll check this and the other suggestions out as soon as I get the chance. Thank you!
If it's a dotnet program, you might be able to run it with mono.
I attempted to, but as I said in another comment, I'm still new to this so I might be missing something. Thanks for the tip
Can try installing the dotnet files under the same prefix that your app is installed under? I know I had to do that to get Clarity working for Dragon Quest X on my Deck.
Yes, I'll give it a shot. I'm pretty sure I attempted it before, but I'm very new to Linux so I probably fucked something up.
I'm really enjoying learning it though. I put a few different distros on a USB and I've been bouncing around them to see what things I like and what I want out of them
Thank you for the advice, I'll see how it goes
