alt Hacker News>2026, the killer app for many Windows users is now a text editor that has ran in Wine since 2012.
Your comment is a little confusing since the author already mentioned Wine with the following sentence that's after the one you quoted: >"Using Wine is an option... well. Buggy option."
Were you trying to disagree with the author and say it's not actually buggy?
Wine has gotten very good over the years.
But I think we have to recognize that it has had a pretty large usability issue. There are several programs, like winetricks, that have existed because of how hard it can be to get things setup to work well with random bits of software.
It's been a far cry from the windows or mac experience of double clicking on an installer and having everything just work. Though it's pretty close to that now.
