Well, this is surprising isn't it? Microsoft are handing over the Mono Project to the Wine developers with a thank you note.

    I hope this means I can use paint.NET on wine, because that one single program is the reason I dual boot.

      Paint.NET 3.5 works fine under Wine. Later versions will require better Direct2D implementation from Wine.

      Consider using free software instead: https://lazpaint.github.io/

        I don’t use version 3.5, I use version 5.0.13. And it is so out of the league of lazPaint it’s unreal.

      God damn, I’ve got a LOT of music software I still keep Windows for. Cubase and Native Instruments mostly, and there’s not a chance in hell they’ll ever release Linux versions kitty-cri-screm

        Music software is a very valid reason to avoid Linux
