Using Wine on ARM computer to run Windows program, it even requires you to to custom build kernel, compile Windows program to ARM target, all for.. for a Text Editor? Really?

Come to think of it, When I converted myself to Windows user to GNU/Linux user, I studied a lot about Wine. All knowledge was unnecessary for I find GNU/Linux and its ecosystem is much better than Windows.

Notepad++ here is obviously a substitute for any "normal" Win32 application. If you can run np++, you can run many/most Windows applications, obviously discounting stuff that generally doesn't play well with Wine even on x86.

Ironically, programs that one is likely to really miss in Unixes are probably closed-source. (I'm still mourning the absence of Totalcmd and Foobar2000.)

Try deadbeef, it doesn't make real playlists (once changed they can't revert) but it's a carbon copy from another windows to linux convert. The UI editor is also substantially better. I just made an account to post this comment, so PM me for more details. It's all open source!

If it doesn't support FB2K's input plugins, then it's just dead beef to me.

Input plugins? It has lots of identical plugins. Give it a try. deadbeef.sourceforge.net/plugins.html
