What is Phoenicis PlayOnLinux?

Phoenicis PlayOnLinux is a piece of software which allows you to easily install and use numerous games and apps designed to run with Microsoft® Windows®.

Few games are compatible with GNU/Linux at the moment and it certainly is a factor preventing the migration to this system. Phoenicis PlayOnLinux brings a cost-free, accessible and efficient solution to this problem.

What are Phoenicis PlayOnLinux’s features?

Here is a non-exhaustive list of the interesting points to know:

  • You don’t have to own a Microsoft Windows license to use PlayOnLinux.
  • Phoenicis PlayOnLinux is based on Wine, and so profits from all its features yet it keeps the user from having to deal with its complexity.
  • Phoenicis PlayOnLinux is free software.
  • Phoenicis PlayOnLinux uses Java.

Nevertheless, Phoenicis PlayOnLinux has some bugs, as every piece of software:

  • Occasional performance decrease (image may be less fluid and graphics less detailed).
  • Not all games are supported. Nevertheless, you can use our manual installation module.
