Few games are compatible with GNU/Linux at the moment and it -certainly is a factor preventing the migration to this system. -PlayOnLinux brings an accessible and efficient solution to this -problem, cost-free, and respectful of the free software. +PlayOnLinux is a graphical front-end for Wine which automatically creates a +prefix for the application you're trying to install. It manages its own wine +versions internally, meaning you only have to have some version of Wine already +already installed as a base and PlayOnLinux will automatically download and use +whatever Wine version is necessary (which can also be specified by the user in the +case of manual, unscripted installations). POL supports the use of installation +scripts which are used to automatically install an application and configure Wine to +work with that application. Dozens of official scripts for various games and +software already exist, and the POL website has tutorials to instruct users on +writing their own. + +For maximum performance and compatibility, PlayOnLinux should be run on a 32-bit +system, or on a 64-bit system enabled for multilib, and 32-bit graphic libraries should be available. |
