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.

    Do not use PlayOnLinux, it’s been dead for a long time. Use lutris/bottles instead

      Yeah I think I’ve come to that realization. It really sucks that stuff gets abandoned so easily, why doesn’t someone pick it up and get it up to date?

      Anyway thanks, I need to try moving away from it.
