From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How the fuck is that gonna work

What is Kinito Pet?

[–] WalnutLum@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 month ago (3 children)

It's a game that messed with the windows on your desktop and opens file dialogs and stuff (as part of the spooks)

It makes me wonder how it works on the Linux side

[–] Courantdair@jlai.lu 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As I understand the screenshots, it looks like it is simulating a windows XP desktop but not opening actual windows or messing with the system

[–] WalnutLum@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

I think it does that for some parts, but it does close the game out and open up folders for some spooks

Z:\ is a mount in wine to the rest of your file system

What problems do you anticipate? Wine, which Proton is just a modified version of, implements file dialogs. If it didn't, just about every application that isn't a game would be broken. Needing to open files is pretty ubiquitous, after all. You need file dialogs for that.

Well part of what it does is grab your actual desktop background to use, and there's a couple different ways to do that on Linux afaik

Also I guess the file dialogs would open only to the wine prefix? My experience with wine applications and dialogs is mostly through bottles, so I'm not sure of the sandboxing...
