Same with 'compatibility telemetry runner' after every update I have to disable it and delete the .exe from system32. None of the permanently disable tricks work. Plus I always have to run "oo shutup" to disable the other privacy stuff. I wish I could switch to another is, but most of my software is windows only.

[-] meekah@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

isn't WINE for running windows only stuff on linux? or is the software you use actually utilizing some windows specific API?

[-] TalesFromTheKitchen@lemmy.ml 6 points 11 months ago

Yeah I've heard Wine has gotten really decent. Maybe I should give it a shot. Change is always a bit hard, when it comes to habits.

absolutely agree on that last part. but yeah, apparently valve really accelerated the development of those translation layers for the steam deck.

For regular gaming experiences, WINE and Proton are brilliant. For some .NET stuff it's still lacking. On WINE, MusicBee for example lacks proper CJK font redirection and dragging the tabs on it causes MusicBee to throw errors. You might also run into issues gaming if you have certain setups + controllers too.

For some .NET stuff it's still lacking.

.NET runs natively on Linux now. so newer apps should work fine unless they're using Windows-specific APIs. For the legacy .NET Framework 4.x, they should work in Mono.

.NET stuff

Have you tried using mono? It does winforms by now though apps doing direct Win32 API calls (bypassing the actual .NET stuff) are iffy no matter what.

Could it be possible to place a read-only dummy .exe in its place? I think FS attributes should be respected by the update process.

They ought to be. You might have to change ownership of the file to some other local user (and disable permission inheritance for that file so admin can't touch it), but I bet this would work for most use cases except like a system restore.
