Latelly I got the felling that we are now the WineHQ site, where people can ask "will X game run in Ubuntu?". I would love make them check the WineHQ, or ask the makers if they have a Linux version and then ask here if they have a specific problem, instead of:

  • asking if it will run
  • we say yes
  • they try to play
  • find a problem
  • ask another question, being all bitter because we told him he could play
  • we tell him how to solve the problem.

I try to make those 6 steps into just 1. Any in favor? Who is in disagreement?

    Do we not already have a generic QA for Windows applications?

  • @oli I tried to find one, with several views/linked questions for "games" (seems that if the canonical question don't include that word, nobody flags them as duplicated), and found none.

It might not contain the word "games" but it applies (and already exists):

I don't think we need to denormalise "Windows software" to every type of application. Especially when we'd be using exactly the same answer.

    Yeah, this would be way easier.
