hi.
i wished to migrate to linux, but i wish also to use all exe files of my
softwares on linux with wine.
i am satisfied if even i can install my favorite version of nvda (2016.4) with
wine.
is it realy possible?
wine supports more than 25000 programs, but what should blind people do to use
windows programs on linux?
