Top things to use Wine for
Top things to use Wine for
I am not a gamer so I don't plan on using Wine for that.
What are the top apps that most Puppy users use with Wine? This will help me alot in figuring out what I can do with Wine using Puppy Linux. Thanks!!

Hi Jasper!
Thanks for getting back to me. I was just curious as to what Puppy users use Wine for aside from games.
I host a jazz radio show at the university of ottawa (24 years now). Love it!! I use puppy linux and Xubuntu for all of my audio editing and recording.
I do have an issue with my external Mic recording in Audacity but I think it would be an easy fix.

In answer to your question concerning the top apps, I wouldn't know.
I, for one, use wine to take over where Linux leaves off, i.e. to run very specialized programs that do not yet have either a Linux version or a proper equivalent in Linux. I find that I use wine less and less, since this gap is progressively being filled.
TreeDBNotes, jpegcrop, CatsCradle, Ocean, are examples of specialized wine programs that I occasionally use.
Have a great day!

dunno about most users - mainly some more text editors and a few graphic tools for me
metapad
notetab lite
xplorer² lite with editor²
irfanview
iconsextract
@iconsushi
fscap
htmlcolor and pixeur (color pickers)
niche-fillers to be sure (no full-blown win stuff that's better done natively anyway, imo)
the only add I'll probably be doing for wine is to enable a nice soothing yet interesting screensaver - the linux ones I've seen just look ugly/primitive/distracting... (sry about that, I called myself in for replacement pundit duty such as 'tis)
good gig, jazz radio at the U )

Format Factory video converter works fine under wine. I get the odd message that it needs to close, but it doesn´t and keeps going.
For someone who uses a computer primarily for word processing, I find Word 97 is still the definitive application, especially for battery-operated computers. Its CPU usage is low and it can handle anything other than *.docx (which current abiword can process).
I'm a SoftMaker fan as well, but a Wine/Word97 arrangement is still my go-to.

For me these are essential:
Quicken 2000
Digiguide TV Guide
I don't use Usenet much these days but when I do Agent newsreader is much better than Pan.
