Hello everybody, I'm using an Asus S56C with Lubuntu 22.04.4 and for work I use Photoshop CS6 and Vector Magic with Playonlinux. I was wandering - just for curiosity - if there are any good alternatives to Playonlinux to use these Windows programs. Thanks in advance!

Bottles can't get any easier, seriously.

Bottles or Lutris, and dont forget ProtonPlus or ProtonUpQt

For apps, Bottles. For games, Lutris is quite good. Bottles can do both but I am partial to Lutris for games.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I'll check Bottles

I am using Lutris for Windows games (sometimes Windows applications, too) almost exclusively on my rig. It works perfectly fine.

Thanks to everyone for your answers. I'll check Lutris and Bottles!

Bottles is magic. I've used it for FL Studio for a year and it didn't break

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
