About

PlayOnLinux will allow you to run your favorite Windows games and applications on Linux through Wine easily. New users can often find Wine to be intimidating and difficult to use. PlayOnLinux simplifies much of this and makes installing and using Windows programs easier. PlayOnLinux has the database of Windows applications from which the user can install desired application with a few clicks. It will automatically setup your Wine prefix and download any required Windows libraries.

Required configuration

Recommends: mouse or touchpad, keyboard.

Flatpak sandbox
Wide access

Runs in a sandbox, but a broad part of it is open — typical for tools that need to manage your files or system. It shows what the app is able to do, not what it does.

What it can access
  • Reads and changes all your files
  • Can access all devices, including cameras and USB
  • Uses the internet
  • Plays and records audio
  • Uses the older X11 display system, which doesn't isolate windows from each other
