The solution to run the window program under Linux

Recently replaced the home machine with the Ubuntu version of the Linux system, and the original windows system composed of dual systems; I will use linux as the default system. With the problems that come with it, my wife used to use windows, which is very inconvenient under Linux. Although the author has repeatedly said that the benefits of Linux, and the efficiency of the Linux system. For most general users (on the Internet, play mini games, chat). Linux does not have any superiority =_=!.

In the words of his wife: What is good about Linux, even a QQ can not go up. Although the author has more tools for chatting (MSN, Google Talk….), it is basically a cloud for ordinary Internet friends.

In fact, this statement also makes sense. Isn't the desktop version of Linux used to play games on the Internet? If this is not enough, then Linux is too inferior =_=! Well, the other half of the opinion should also be taken seriously, the author began to seek the way to run windows programs under Linux on the Internet – Wine.

What is Wine? ! The wiki's explanation is more authoritative, and the summary is as follows:

Wine is a software that allows Unix-like operating systems to run Microsoft Windows
programs under X Window System on x86 and x86-64. On the other hand, the programmer can also customize the API interface of Wine. The windows program can be run in the Unix-like operating system
. There are also a lot of software released after the Wine test, such as Picasa, uTorrent, MediaCoder.

Wine's full name "Wine Is Not an Emulator", that is, Wine is not a complete simulator. Although Wine has another unofficial name, "Windows Emulator", the Windows emulator. The correct name for Wine is "Wine", not all uppercase, all lowercase or mixed case. [1]

Wine is not a complete Windows emulator, but instead emulates the compatibility mode of the operating system to call the DLL to run Windows software. Wine is free software and is released under the GNU Public License (LGPL).

Friends using Ubuntu can get Wine1.2 via apt-get.

sudo apt-get install wine1.2

There is to install some common windows runtimes, you need to use winetricks.

wget http://www.kegel. Com/wine/winetricks

sudo chmod +x winetricks #This is a script, so give it permission to execute after downloading

down some common runtimes, such as QQ runtime :

sh winetricks msxml3 gdiplus riched20 riched30 vcrun6 vcrun2005sp1

garbled problem:

This happens because the simulated windows font folder has any fonts, return to Windows directly copy over it can be ^_^

Well, if you want to run QQ in Linux, then basically have met the conditions, to download a single file version of QQ.exe. Just double click to run it.

Of course, the effect of the simulator is definitely not comparable to the native system. If you don't mind using webQQ, then use webQQ. The times are developing, and the Web of the program has been going on for a long time. If you really need a desktop icon, you can try Prism, a web-based desktop program.
