programs VS Homebrew-cask

To complete my view, I am not a big fan of how the bug are managed as in this issue where EA launcher is not working as intented and is still considered Platinum one year later...

In Bottles there is a "program installers" feature. One of the programs on that list is FL Studio which you can get via 1 click (here is the script that runs internally when you do that: https://github.com/bottlesdevs/programs/blob/main/Software/flstudio.yml)

I have put some work on a bottles LoL installer here. For it to be ready, some stuff needs to be ironed, but the majority of the installer is already there.

Edit: for anyone interested, here is Bottles Battle.net install script: https://github.com/bottlesdevs/programs/blob/main/Games/battlenet.yml

It looks like the only officially supported program that isn't a game is amazon music [1]. The main project for running windows on Linux has a partially working distribution of Office 365. My impression is that it sometimes works with significant manual effort, wouldn't be reliable enough to depend on without a backup system [2].

When I need Office apps to communicate with clients I use a combination of Google Docs download as docx, Office Online, and a VM.

Using Homebrew Cask for Calibre actually makes the problem worse because the download is consistently very slow for some people. For me, it took around an hour the last time I had it installed on my Mac.

(Note that I don't actually have calibre installed on my machine. I'm only going by the calibre.rb file present on brew's GitHub.)

seems like you might be able to look at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/commits/89f99aad090a5148b0a44eef826f1fc7c0c6aa84/Casks/arc.rb and figure out which version works and plug the version into the download url. would be more ideal if theres a way to do it directly from brew but im not sure how offhand

I use Homebrew to install and delete most apps, because they include a zap list in their formula of all files and folders to delete when uninstalling. You can see Parallels formula and zap list here: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/tree/master/Casks/parallels.rb

Sto cercando di creare una "botte" per l'app VPN FORTICLIENT gratuita (e ho già fatto per il software Full Forticlient), vedi qui: [https://github.com/homebrew/homebrew-cask coin(https:/ /github.com/homebrew/homebrew-cask)

Huh, it was just accepted as the mainline fork in Homebrew last week! Been trying it and it seems to have all the features that the rowanj fork had! https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/pull/141659

True, and there's an issue for that: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/issues/89497

Follow the Homebrew file for installing Microsoft Edge, as it contains the folders to be removed when deleting Edge with brew: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/08f8ed4f738f2245fe8166d64dbc68b4b26add7b/Casks/microsoft-edge.rb (check the "trash" list)
