Wine is considered the third worst alternative to running a program you want.i was wondering, if i remove or completely remove something from synaptic is that uninstalling the program or just deleteing the package, and if it does only remove the package, how do i uninstall things like a older version of wine? this help page says that it is best to uninstall it, lol i'm starting to wonder if a windows --> linux switch was a good idea....i'm so lost.
It is much, much better to use native programs, then if you can't find native programs for linux, you may give wine a go. Some people must use emulators (ie, VMWare), and some (like me) are forever doomed to dualbooting.
(I'm doing DirectX game development for university, and I do alot of other Linux development.)
PS: Yes, wine does have very good DirectX support, but the code I'm using does not work on it (It is probable that it is not actually portable to many graphics cards, which could be why)
