Re: Can an extreme novice in someway help wine?

I think many people come to open source software projects with unrealistic expectations. Yes bug reports and use-examples are often helpful to those working on the software.

Re: Can an extreme novice in someway help wine?

There are many articles on open-source software philosophy. For me, my involvement in open-source projects, including Wine, is almost always an "itch-to-scratch". That is there is a technical problem I'd like to solve, I evaluate possible solutions, and the optimal strategy is to use an ex...

Make sure your user and/or group has write permissions for /path/to/drive/newprefix Try making a file there manually as a test, e.g. `touch /path/to/drive/newprefix/foo` Do you have a sandboxing program installed like firejail?

dolphin and other file managers call udisksctl to mount the SD card.

I expect shell32.dll is too "low level" to be replaced with native. Replacing builtin DLLs with native DLLs might work with "higher level" DLLs. My guess is that shell32.dll, kernel32.dll, ntdll.dll are on a list of DLLs that you can't possibly replace with native because they ar...

@Seda You might not be able to see the map because you're logged into a different region than where the developer had uploaded the map to. Try logging into a different region, EU/Asia/US, etc, then look for the map and try it.
