Bottles has over 3 million installs, but donations average just €100/month, not even enough to cover our server infra 😭
Bottles Next is moving forward, but we need support to keep it alive and growing 🙈

The way to go
Oh cool. Btw I released Soda 11.0-36 with more fixes for Office, it’s still a WIP but we are getting closer 🤟
Thanks to all the testers 🍷

Hey mom look at me 🤟
Mirko Brombin is working to get Microsoft Office running reliably on Linux. He also thinks the apps cloning Office and Photoshop pixel for pixel cross a line. We talked about both, plus AI agents, Vanilla OS and his new Sinty OS.

You can now pause apps on Sinty OS 👀
A paused app is frozen in place: zero CPU, its memory is kept and the window turns grayscale with a play button so its clear :D Click it and the app resumes exactly where it was.

You can now use Raven on Xorg using the --desktop=x11 flag.

Raven is finally available for testing! Run windows applications on Linux on a new way!
It's here. Raven is now Open source!
A new Windows compatibility layer for Linux (and soon Mac OS). The website and code are now public alongside the whole story of the project, you can read about it here: useraven.org/news/introducin…
Waiting for your feedback, and please, be kind with it, it's young 🥹

Preparing last bits for the launch of the first (development/unstable/alpha/potentially-broken) build of Raven!
The announcement is for sure the most important one, at least for me, I know half of them will not read it 😕

I am making a website for Raven :3
Raven runs Windows apps on Linux, but not the Wine way 👀
While Wine translates Windows into Linux, Raven gives apps a Windows they recognize: real MSI installs, WinSxS, .NET 2.0 to 4.8, DirectX redists, and a snapshot before every install so nothing breaks your prefix.
Google Chrome, Steam (with the Unturned game installed and testes), Notepad++ and KeePass already works out of the box 🤟
I promise (because I already got at that point) better performance and out of the box experience. No hacking around with winetricks and similar tools.

Raven is another way of running Windows apps on Linux and MacOS. No VM no Wine.

👀 well not wine is getting an alternative.
I should have explained it better. I am mot cloning Paint.NET. I am trying to make it work on my own Windows emulator. I am using it to run, check what is missing and then implement it. Not based on wine. 🍷👀
