Hi,
I want to know how does one install and work wine on Linux? Also would Linux mint be fine for this?
can wine run directs 9, 10, 11 games and applications?
Also, could one make windows programs with Linux.
How to work wine on Linux

Wine runs some Windows programs, but not many games
You install it and use the Window to install and run the MS-Windows application
I cannot answer the 3rd question, but I doubt it
If you want to develop Windows programs, you shouldn't be using Linux...Originally Posted by Mr.CookieMonster
Mint is fine, install PlayOnLinux since it comes preconfigured to install all the most popular Windows applications and games. PlayOnLinux takes care of most of the configuration and you just install what you need.
Some applications works well, as well as games. If it is a popular program or game it will most likely work with WINE.
Everything is possible, but why would you want to use Linux to develop for Windows?
Why not develop then for Linux rather?

It is possible, but not recommended. You can use mingw to compile Windows applications in Linux.

Where do I download PlayOnLinux? Can it run DirectX 10 and DirectX 11 games? I want to be able to play Need for Speed The Run and the upcoming need for speed Most wanted 2012 game.
I want to move to using Linux now instead of windows. Do universities offer programming in Linux for Linux?Everything is possible, but why would you want to use Linux to develop for Windows?

You can get PlayOnLinux here: http://www.playonlinux.com/en/download.html
I doubt very much you will get new DirectX games running with properly with wine. Best is to dual boot with Windows 7 if you want to play games.
Regarding programming, it all depends what you want to do. What language do you want to learn?

If you have not figured that out then this is going to be a very hard journey for you.
PlayOnLinux is available in the ubuntu & mint repositories so you just install it.
Also available on their site http://www.playonlinux.com/en/download.html

Yeah, most universities offer enough courses that are either done with Linux or done where using any OS is possible.
Thanks. Which one would you use, Linux Ubuntu or Mint?
Download them both and try them out yourself?
Linux is Linux (oversimplification, I know), only difference is the window manager you choose to support, Unity (Ubuntu), Gnome 3 (Fedora), Mate/Cinnamon (Mint), KDE (PCLinuxOS, Chakra).
I use only KDE (Arch Linux), my wife and daughters use Cinnamon (Mint) and my netbook uses Mate (Mint).

I wanted to learn PHP and MySQL, and any program language for PC programs.Regarding programming, it all depends what you want to do. What language do you want to learn?
