    How do i install this? I went to GitLab but it's very confusing. On the Packages and registries section it just states "there are no packages yet". When i navigate to commits https://gitlab.com/es20490446e/exeCute/-/commit/92578b2bd70ddce842cfb3d837b1bc040a213658

  • lux-wine

    Easy launch of your Windows applications and games with Wine/Proton

    I've tried LutrisWine and flatpak-wine, and to me, they're just finicky even compared to running using Bottles. I had some issues with Bottles, but with it now having a bottle-chooser when opening .exe from file manager, it works well enough most of the time, for most people.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • flatpak-wine

    wine using flatpak (build with runtime freedesktop sdk 22.08), provides wine to Centos like distros (https://flatpak.org/setup/)

    I've tried LutrisWine and flatpak-wine, and to me, they're just finicky even compared to running using Bottles. I had some issues with Bottles, but with it now having a bottle-chooser when opening .exe from file manager, it works well enough most of the time, for most people.

  • Conty

    Easy to use unprivileged Linux container packed into a single portable executable

    It's why I usually just run Bottles in Conty. nix-unstable also have the latest Bottles builds, though I haven't tested those yet. I don't think the default permissions is a big problem though, just something to note if you store your games outside of areas it has permissions for by default.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • dosbox-staging

    DOSBox Staging is a modern continuation of DOSBox with advanced features and current development practices.

    Please note, for DOSBox it's much better to rely on FluidSynth built-in DOSBox Staging than on an external process. It will have lower latency, additional filters, optional crossfeed, pop-prevention, etc, etc.
