RE: PlayOnLinux - XKX426 - 10-16-2019
This is a quick tutorial on how to install PlayOnLinux. PlayOnLinux is a sort of bootleg game installer which will allow you access to all kinds of titles fo' freeeee.
This is going to be a specific tutorial for Ubuntu, as all my Linux posts are, comment with questions about another distro or and questions regarding the tutorial.

If you do not have Wine already you will need to get it. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is a sort of a layer which will allow you to run Windows .exe files.
Open a terminal and run these commands to install the key:
wget https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key
Then:
sudo apt-key add Release.key
Then add the Wine repository:
sudo apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/
If your system is 64 bit, be sure 32 bit architecture is enabled via command:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
Then install Wine via:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends wine-devel
Done!
