You can run Microsoft Office, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Safari, iTunes and many other applications on your Linux system through PlayOnLinux.

Since there has not been a Windows version of Safari for seven years, does that mean that you can install the MacOS version of Safari in PlayOnLinux?

There has not been a Linux version of WordPerfect for nearly 15 years, and it was buggy. It looks like this is just working off of WINE. Does anyone know if the compatibility extends to Filemaker Pro Advanced 15 and up? Adobe Acrobat Pro (which has issues even running in Windows), etc.

Thank you! This is very cool, and I have been wanting to try it. I just checked and Synaptic package manager pulls up the same version as the Software manager. Sometimes, and I don’t know why, Synaptic will pull a newer version of something so I always go check both. :)

Thanks for the step by step!

Will look at it later.

I’ve installed a new Ubuntu on a laptop and haven’t done much with it. The distro that’s side by side with ‘doze has a problem all of a sudden with wireless network at home. Nothing has changed that I can tell.

I admit this week, I’ve been working on other things and it isn’t a priority.
