My partner doesn’t do much on the computer except web browsing and writing. The Scrivener writing program had a Linux version at some point that was abandoned.
I wanted to see if anyone personally has used Scrivener with Wine and if it is fussy or not. How has your experience been?
I could set it up for them, but they’re not a tech person and will probably reject Linux if it breaks all the time and they have to get me to come fix it.
Extra irrelevant info: trying to decide on having them try Mint or Ubuntu. Fedora is my daily driver and I typically use a headless Debian install for servers, but I heard Mint and Ubuntu are pretty perfect and low fuss for Windows users.
Have you gotten them to try an alternative program? And if they REALLY need scrivener in particular, then you can try installing it in something called “bottles”, though it will probably require a bit of setup to work correctly, though my personal advice to anyone who needs a windows only program that doesn’t have a Linux port or alternative is to just… Use windows.
