Windows Programs You Wish Were On Linux

ITT: Post those programs you miss from your more pleb days on Windows, that you think would be a good addition to repos. I've been using almost exclusively Linux for about three years now, and I love it but I still miss things.

Foobar - easy, minimal, no bullshit. Easier to configure than any media player I've used on Linux (currently use Audacious), especially when working with network fileshares for libraries.

Photoshop - I don't even edit photos often, but goddamn is GIMP a hassle. Weird hotkeys and all that.

MKV tools/extract/gui tools in general - I'm not trying to learn an entire fucking book of syntax and options for the command line, I think video tools are by far the most helpful thing to have GUIs for.

What about you, anon?

Is WINE any good or have you not tried it?
Seems like a colossal waste of time when you can just have a Windows partition or shit like that.

I'd like to add mouse drivers to this list. My mouse controls so much better in Windows.

wine is OK for most DX9 games. Expect much better performance with a native install or vm with passthrough. Games that render with OpenGL work flawlessly, though. (ex: RAGE, 2009 riddick) It also works really well with older games too, sometimes better than native windows.
Try fucking with wine-staging for that CSMT awesomeness.
It usually works pretty well for most software, though, and integrates nicely with the most desktop environments.

I don't play many games these days but when I do they're usually old (Quake, Thief, System Shock 2, etc). Thanks for this, I know a good amount of older games have better openGL support. I'll look into running a VM

More games would be nice, it's the main reason I still have Windows.
There's also the fact I need Office for Uni assignments, though I don't know how good LibreOffice is for that either

This entire thread is pic related.

You fags really need to install Windows 10. This is just pathetic.

It warms my heart that you faggots will never, ever get software for your shitty UNIX ripoff.

Put Windows 10 on your drive, and keep Linux in HyperV or VirtualBox where it belongs.

Prolly not. I run gentoo and thats how i got it CS6 working, the big thing was using at least wine version 1.9.5, earlier versions of wine didn't work for me but when I tried that version of wine it worked. Also use winetricks to download some windows files like vcrun2010 vcrun2008 msxml3 gdiplus or some shit like that, i might have the file names wrong but i know i installed some shit with winetricks too. But yea both programs work pretty flawlessly so far. illustrator will sometimes crash on start a couple times but just relaunch it and then it works fine. It's pretty sweet not having to use a vm or dual boot or a different os just to use CS6

How can I, ethnic Kazakh kneeling there
My attention fix
On technological progression

There's another travelled man
who knows those dialects
And he accounts in his slow plan
Peshawur, Kazakh, Persian direness
And maybe what he says is true
of war and war's alarms
But O to be young again
And hold her in my arms
