PlayOnLinux Latest Version Released 4.2.9, Install in Ubuntu/Linux Mint via PPA

PlayOnLinux is a piece of software which allows you to easily install and use numerous apps and games designed to run with Microsoft Windows. Few apps and games are compatible with GNU/Linux at the moment and it certainly is a factor preventing the migration to this system. PlayOnLinux brings a cost-free, accessible and efficient solution to this problem.

Many other popular apps are available, install Windows apps Manually

Main Features:

• You don’t have to own a Windows license to use PlayOnLinux.
• PlayOnLinux is based on Wine, and so profits from all its features yet it keeps the user from having to deal with its complexity.
• PlayOnLinux is free software.
• PlayOnLinux uses Bash and Python.

Nevertheless, PlayOnLinux has some bugs:

• Occasional performance decrease (image may be less fluid and graphics less detailed).
• Not all apps/games are supported. Nevertheless, you can use our manual installation module.

Changes in this version:

• Fixed a bug in the user agent used in urllib that would make it look like an attack to paranoid eyes (and filters)
• Try to improve general installation instructions
• POL_Download_Resource: don’t test hash of missing file (one less spurious warning message)
• Adding some visual clue while virtual drives are being removed
• Fix “debbuger” typo
• POL_System_find_file: really pick the shallowest file
• fix “debbuger” typo
• POL_SetupWindow_VMS: mention that the expected answer units are megabytes
• Try to make instructions to rerun a program in debug mode more obvious
• Some GetRegValue fixing/hardening
• Remove spurious .lnk files from user desktop for all architectures during POL_Shortcut calls
• Add waiting messages to POL_System_unzip & friends
• Deprecate Set_WineWindowTitle that no longer works with Wine 1.5.16+, and breaks Set_Desktop
• Fix playonlinux-pkg -b (broken since PlayOnLinux 4.0)
• Feature freeze has been declared for POL 4.x, so this changelog should contain only bug fixes
• checkVersionUse(): don’t assume cfg files have any order
• manual installation: component installation bugfix ($IFS not restored correctly)
• POL_OpenShell: call POL_Wine_AutoSetVersionEnv in all cases, to set $PATH
• Fix consecutive shortcut creations
• POL_Wine_SetVideoDriver bugfix, device IDs were not inserted as DWORDs
