Holy shit, it's happening, guys. Paint.net is getting official wine support. You know the windows situation is getting bad when even the developer of an app exclusively aimed at Windows is now shifting support to wine...

They're contributing to the wine project and everything πŸ₯² https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60276

I came on here a few months ago ranting about direct 2D stub functions. Two days ago the dev stopped calling those exact direct 2D functions https://github.com/paintdotnet/Paint.NET-on-Wine/releases/tag/v5.200.9785.36400

What a time to be alive. Truly a great time to be a Paint.net enjoyer.

Feel free to ask me any questions if you need help setting it up. There's also another repo I haven't looked into yet here: https://github.com/toehead2001/Paint.NETOnWine

I literally just took the latest portable build, threw it into lutris, and set the wine version to 11.20. You only need the install.sh if you don't already have the required wine components, which my system already did.
