Official assistance for running Codebook under wine?

Hi,

As many of us have been codebook/strip users for decades and Zetetic isn’t interested in a Linux port, is there any way Zetetic could work with the Wine team or at the very least provide a comprehensive set of instructions for installing under Wine?

I really really really don’t want to migrate all my accounts to something like Bitwarden. There is nothing wrong with Bitwarden, but I’m not interested in having all my eggs in their basket. Codebook has served my needs for a very long time, but Microsoft and Apple stopped being interested in personal computers a long time ago.

Thanks for listening.

Hi @dbertagni,

Thanks for reaching out, we always appreciate hearing from long-time customers! To clarify, it’s not that Zetetic doesn’t have an interest in supporting Codebook on Linux, but rather that the volume of interest is much smaller than our other supported platforms. As a small company, we have to be mindful about what we decide to work on as that impacts our ability to work on different features. Developing and supporting a new platform for the long term is a rather large undertaking. We are continually monitoring the interest in supporting Linux. If enough interest is expressed from the community, we may reconsider our position.

Unfortunately, we do not have experience with the Wine compatibility toolkit so I cannot comment on what would be necessary to support such an endeavor. If I may ask, what Linux distribution do you currently use?
