There are a large number of Windows applications that are currently fully supported by Wine. They will work without any problems.
However, new Windows applications are being developed every day. Many of them will not work in Wine the way we want them to. But the pace of Wine’s development is swift as well. Support for new applications is being added all the time.
And there is a special database to keep track of it.
The Wine Application Database contains almost 24 000 applications with different statuses depending on how well these applications work in Wine. If you want to quickly check the rating of an app you want to use in Wine, you can take a look there. Here is the meaning of these ratings:
- Platinum: These apps install and work flawlessly in “out-of-the-box” Wine.
- Gold: These apps work flawlessly with some special settings.
- Silver: Apps with minor problems are marked as Silver.
- Bronze: Bronze has major problems which affect usage quite a bit.
- Garbage: They simply will not work in Wine.
Reviews, installation procedure, which version of Wine it has been tested with, and various useful data are also available for each application here.
Of course, the Wine Application Database is mostly custom data, so you can always try to run an application with another Wine version and share your results with the rest of the community.
