I believe this may be a niche question but hopefully someone may have an answer.

Has anyone gotten PipeMax working on Linux? Or does anyone know of a Linux native alternative software for automotive engine design? I’d rather not purchase a software for $100 only to not be able to get it working. I am not very knowledgeable on how to get Windows programs working on Linux as I’ve tried using Bottles and Lutris for Zwift but was unable to get it working.

    I understand.

    Hey this is a long shot, but why don’t you give React OS a shot inside a VM? If your application doesn’t use anything special or doesn’t require special drivers out whatever, it might work.

      That looks like a pretty nifty OS. If I can’t get the software working via Wine or something I’ll definitely try this before Windows in a VM
