Just wanted to share that I’ve had great success running the Windows version of Scrivener in Linux using virtual machines, namely both Winboat and VirtualBox. I choose the virtual machine route because for the life of me I could not get scrivener to work properly under wine or it’s various permutations & spinoffs.
Unless I start having problems, I think I’ll be sticking with Winboat (https://www.winboat.app/) as opposed to VirtualBox because of the way Winboat is more seamlessly integrated into the Linux workflow. Winboat is newer project than VirtualBox, is still in beta, and doesn’t have a big company behind it like virtualbox, but they’re doing a great job so far and are creating a pretty slick product. And so far I’ve found it to just simply work for me.
If Miscroshit’s recent shenanagans with win10 & 11 and the further shitification of their products and increased spying and data sharing/stealing/selling has you down and thinking about switching to linux, well winboat &/or virtualbox can help make the transition easier without giving up a particular app like Scrivener that you love.
Je trouve qu’il est bien plus simple à installer et à configurer que les autres solutions que j’ai pu tester.
Il n’est pas parfait (quelques soucis de mon côté avec la mise à l’échelle des fenêtres), mais franchement depuis que je l’utilise, je ne démarre plus ma partition Windows.
J’ai pu installer la version Windows de Scrivener sur un Windows tout propre avec juste NexCloud pour mes synchro de fichiers, le tout est parfaitement fonctionnel.
Donc merci Winboat
Traduction auto :
So I’m taking this opportunity to do the same .
I discovered Winboat very recently.
I find it much easier to install and configure than the other solutions I’ve tested.
It’s not perfect (I’ve had a few issues with window scaling), but honestly, since I started using it, I no longer boot up my Windows partition.
I was able to install the Windows version of Scrivener on a clean Windows system with just NexCloud for file synchronization, and everything works perfectly.
