WINE should work fine on Windows, but that does not mean that there will not be platform-specific issues anymore.While there may be a very few number of changes necessary to support WINE, there could very well be massive changes necessary.Third party programs will still be outside of Vortex's control, and there's no way to easily distinguish between Vortex being incompatible with the tool, or WINE being incompatible with it, without user investigation.WINE supports a lot of platforms, but not all of them, and is not some silver bullet to fix cross-platform functionality.This means that theoretically, WINE could become a dead end that Vortex is stuck in.

WINE is technically not officially supported by anyone.

If Vortex had targeted WINE from the start, Vortex would be multiple major versions behind by now. Of course, targeting WINE introduces a new plethora of issues. Net/Mono, we only need the user to have a relatively recent WINE version. Targeting WINE as opposed to simply targeting Windows theoretically would help with any future platform switches as WINE is far more likely to be ported than the Windows-specific APIs themselves. I think the ideal situation is Linux support, but the far easier and still perfectly fine solution is to simply support WINE. So I pretty much request that a Official Lutris Install Script to be made available, so that Linux users can utilize the Vortex Mod manager, without having to make a native Linux version of the manager. Lastly I attempted to switch computer that ran a different distro, but still same problem with both versions of Vortex. I attempted to install the official (and most recent) version of Vortex straight from Nexus, same problem.

When I attempted to install Vortex recently however, it just didn't work, Wine pretty much froze when I tried to start Vortex after the install. I've installed Vortex using a Lutris-install script before, but it was an older version and I had to turn off the auto-updates. I've been a proponent for a Linux Version of Vortex for quite a while but I've also had to described to me why it's a much better idea to run Vortex through Wine instead, since most of the games Vortex mods also has to be run through Wine (and/or Proton). So this is an alternative to This Request.
