We have Ubuntu and Fedora users through Wine. Not ideal I know, but enough to try out unless you have a super custom Arch setup



I don't see what having an arch setup would have to do with running it through wine, but running your main browser under a heavy compatibility layer is practically unusable in my book. I need my browser to be able to be invoked in no more than a couple hundred milliseconds, while wine programs can sometimes take 5 to 10 seconds to launch.


Yes, the lag is the main problem. Certain distros and setups don’t work with wine. Mine doesn’t, but I’m sure it’s a tractable problem.
