What are PlayOnLinux's features?

• You don't have to own a Windows® licence to use PlayOnLinux.
  
• PlayOnLinux is based on Wine, and so profits from all its possibilities yet it keeps the user away from its complexity while exploiting some of its advanced functions.
  
• PlayOnLinux is, and will always be, a open source and free piece of software.
  
• PlayOnLinux uses Bash and Python languages and so works independantly from the GNU/Linux distribution used, as long as it's a recent one.
  
• It is advised to have a functional hardware acceleration as well as an internet connection.
  
• To prevent any instability of the games, we strongly advise you to disable desktop's composite effects (Compiz, Kwin, "Cube desktop", etc...)
  
  
• Nevertheless, PlayOnLinux has some defects, as every piece of software:
  
• Occasional performances decrease (a little bit fluid image, less detailed graphics, etc...).
  
• Not all games are supported. Nevertheless, you can use our manual installation module.
