Kevin, Windows VM on Virtual Box would be a slam dunk, but that does take up a lot of your computer’s resources. But, once it’s installed and windows is running, N1MM and most all other windows apps will run FB and not know the difference.
If you are leaning toward a wine solution, you may consider using Crossover rather than straight up wine. Crossover is a commercial-off-the-shelf wine package and it has a cost, but I think it has a free trial period so you can test to see if works for you. Because it is more of a commercial endeavor so many things are better supported. N1MM is on the listed of supported apps in Crossover, though full disclosure I have not actually tried it. I do run a number of other windows apps in it just fine. codeweavers.com Just an idea… 73, Dave - N5DCH > On Jun 12, 2022, at 2:31 PM, kevin <kev...@coho.net> wrote: > > I run versions of Linux on five of my computers.
