Hello,
How do I install WinBoat in KDE Linux OS?
Not being familiar with this software, it might fall under KDE Linux/Install software not available in Discover - KDE Community Wiki.
We also have en empty page for āHow to install software only available on Windowsā that would probably be a better fit for documentation about how to do this once itās fleshed out.
The page is currently empty because I have no interest or experience in running general non-game Windows software on Linux, and others who do have that interest and experience havenāt written the page yet.
Thanks guys,
I think I need to re-phrase my question:
I have downloaded and run āWinBoat-0.8.7-x86_64.AppImageā. I have been able to meet all the pre-requisites, but when the dialogue window asks where (location) to install the VM, I canāt write a path nor use the Select-button. Any ideas on how to fix this?
I donāt know. Since this is 3rd-party software, I think youāll have to do some troubleshooting yourself.
For what itās worth, itās been my experience that despite AppImage apps being billed as āuniversalā and āruns anywhereā, this is not really the case; most that Iāve used rely on a variety of assumptions about the host operating system that can be untrue and cause the AppImage-packaged app to not work properly.
Since KDE Linux is fairly un-traditional with its read-only /usr volume, itās quite possible that the AppImage has made a bad assumption about something. Or maybe thereās just a bug in the embedded installer.
Good luck figuring it out!
Ok, thanks!

Totte, have you tried Linux Wine? It does same things than WinBoat.
I have heard, that Wine can run Windows programs like MS Office and many others too.
