I am completely new to Linux and Wine. I've tried to make Wine work since some 1999, but never had patience with it. Tried reading guides, manuals and so on, but things did not work. All Linux versions I've tried have never run any windows-based programs after I installed Wine (and used to install a propper version of wine - that corresponds to Linux version) - what I did is what is said in the guides: download a package, go to package manager, install wine package - and similar things - and still nothing works! I do not want to go through all that reading and learning about programming, compiling programs and so on - I do not want to know all that stuff. I just want to run some Windows-based programs on Linux. So could someone simply explain me step-by-step what to do? I want to run Cubase or at least Cakewalk Sonar with Addictive Drums (and EzDrummer). Plus Guitar Pro 5 would be good too. I have recently tried GOS and Slax. GOS managed to launch Foobar. Cubase SX 2 and SX3 setup managed to be launched, but SX3 did not install (some problems during driver installation maybe) and SX2 just does not start. WHY? Cubase is in the list of programs that run. WHAT EXACTLY SHOULD I DO TO RUN Cubase with wine? Tell me, and I'll download exactly the version of Linux you'll tell me to and follow all instructions.
