Play on linux is extremely old at this point and isn’t really updated.

I understand that it was a tool that worked well for you in the past and you could probably get it working with the right dependencies but if I am being honest. It’s not worth it.

Wine has improved drastically in the last few years and with that a lot of new apps have come around.

My personal favorite is bottles as it is very easy to use and works well for both games and applications.

Another option is lutris but it’s a lot more oriented towards games than applications.

I hope I was of some help and good luck

Those names refer to ubuntu versions. 24.04 is named noble numbat.

Another easier option might be to install lutris from the app store and install and run windows software with it.

Seconded, PlayOnLinux is very old software. Lutris is better.

Do not use PlayOnLinux, it’s been dead for a long time. Use lutris/bottles instead

Yeah I think I’ve come to that realization. It really sucks that stuff gets abandoned so easily, why doesn’t someone pick it up and get it up to date?

Anyway thanks, I need to try moving away from it.

Play on Linux has been succeeded by Lutris or Bottles. I’ve tried both and personally I have fewer issues with Lutris but Bottles UI is a lot more intuitive. So I’d suggest trying Bottles first and if you run into issues use Lutris.

I’ll give them both a good trial. I actually have had Lutris already for a while and used it a few times.

Thanks!

@AndrewZabar

I used PlayOnLinux for years.

Recently I migrated to Lutris. I have a Wine installation which are 15 Years old and Works fine on Lutris.

Thanks to Lutris and its modern Settings I could use modern technology for my 32bit games.
