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.
