Hello all, In a previous installation I was able to successfully use PlayOnLinux to run a few Windows apps. My most recent system, though, is not liking it. Currently on Kubuntu 24.04

WINE is present and up to date. However, when I tried to install PON from either Discover, or using APT, the app crashes immediately. I never even get to the GUI. I read on the page for the app in Discover, numerous others complain about this exact problem.

Anyone know about this and how to resolve it?

I included the link to the app’s website because there are numerous versions and it states you need to use the correct one. I don’t know what those different variables mean, so could someone please advise? (deb files, Cosmic, Trusty, Bionic, Xenial… etc. I don’t understand these).

Thank you to anyone who can assist.

    Those names refer to ubuntu versions. 24.04 is named noble numbat. Another easier option might be to install lutris from the app store and install and run windows software with it.

      Seconded, PlayOnLinux is very old software. Lutris is better.
