static-wine32 VS AppImageLauncher

I've spent some time optimizing the build process for static-wine32 so it requires much less manual labor. You still need Docker to build it but link time optimizations are now enabled by default.

static-wine32 updated as well for those of you interested in real performance.

static-wine32 updated as well in case you want to try it out in a sane way ;))

I've spent the month hacking to give you this gem! I hacked the Vulkan loader and Mesa into cooperation and now you can enjoy your 32 bit software without sinking hopelessly into a dependency hell. Nvidia users as usual are not served and they did this to themselves. While many will argue that static-wine32 is to be considered a human rights violation due to its awkwardness, I also addedlink-time optimized dependencies which means you're unlikely to find a faster Wine anywhere else. Mesa alone could get 20% faster if the rumors on the Internet are to be believed.

static-wine32 has been updated accordingly! Liberate yourself from the shackles of dynamic dependencies today!

If you're sick of millions of 32-bit deps I could suggest trying out static-wine32 for a scenario very close to yours. It only needs 32-bit C/C++ standard libraries.

Or if you want the full experience checkout statc-wine32. It includes the latest versions of almost everything statically so no install needed OS-wise. Vulkan not yet supported tho.

static-wine32 updated as well for those with digital masochistic tendencies!

static-wine32 updated and ready to go if you want to free your poor machine from a dependency nightmare!

Every file that you want to execute has to be in your environment PATH. I would also advise to put symlinks and personal executables in ~/.local/bin and put that to your path. Since your user has ownership over that directory, you won't have any probs with permissions that may or may not occur at all. Since we're talking about AppImage files, you might also want to take a look at AppImageLauncher which does a pretty good job at creating entries for your Desktop Menu for the AppImage files that you install to your system.

I think it's safe to install it directly as it stores everything in a single directory. For AppImages there is also AppImagePool + AppImageLauncher (can be installed rootless, useful for better integration of appimages).

This reminds me of a prettier version of AppImageLauncher. Is there also an "Uninstall" option in the right-click menu of the app launcher?

I'm using AppImageLauncher on Fedora.

"... I recall that this was related to an issue with most Electron apps, wherein the AppImage cannot be integrated with the desktop or the favourites bar. So far we've found that the AppImageLauncher (https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher) helps with getting around this!
