Sure, only from a layman's perspective though. Currently I am running wine-6.0.1, in terms of configuration after install wine, all I did was running 'winecfg' and changing 'Screen resolution' under Graphics tab. After that, all the workable Windows programs will be treated as native Linux programs (Running programs, Desktop icons, Taskbar icons etc. since Wine 5.0), I downloaded 'SierraChartFileDownloader.exe', double clicked it, and followed the instructions. Same as running Sierra, I just double click on Sierra Chart Desktop icon that was created by Sierra installer. Sierra Chart gets streaming data from IB's TWS Linux version, never had a glitch with IB's API. I code with ASCIL, and always using 'Remote Build', so I don't need Visual C++. That's pretty much it, sometimes I almost forget that it is a Windows program. I vaguely remember before wine 5.0, I had to go to terminal window and type something like 'wine SierraChart_64.exe' to run a Windows program, then I would never forget. CPU usage for SierraChart_64 (2015 iMac, Linux Mint 19.3) is 4%. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-12-21 06:03:31
