About
PlayOnLinux will allow you to run your favorite Windows games and applications on Linux through Wine easily.
New users can often find Wine to be intimidating and difficult to use. PlayOnLinux simplifies much of this and makes installing and using Windows programs easier.
PlayOnLinux has the database of Windows applications from which the user can install desired application with a few clicks. It will automatically setup your Wine prefix and download any required Windows libraries.
