Is there maybe some tutorial showing how to run PrePoMax on Ubuntu?

PrePoMax is developed for Windows. You would have to use a virtual machine or emulator.

I realize that. Some people reported running PrePoMax successfully on Linux using the Wine emulator. Unfortunately, their tutorials are in Chinese I guess. It would be nice to have a tutorial in English so I just wonder if somebody happened to make one.

I can confirm that PrePoMax runs great on KDE Neon (based on Ubuntu 24.04) using [Bottles](https://usebottles.com). It isolates a Wine environment in a sandbox and can be installed as Flatpak. Just install `dotnet48` into an empty environment, optionally with `allfonts`. Both extensions can be installed with Bottles itself. Except for the black squares in the table view, PrePoMax works great.

**Important** : Don’t install `mono` in your Wine environment. Just install `dotnet48`!

I managed to make it work on my Ubuntu 24.04!  
You’re right, thank you so much!
