box86 Actually Works Well on Manjaro Phosh/xfce - jakfish - 07-13-2023

It's a bit of a hike to get to the end of compiling and installing, but once done, box86/WINE performs admirably on the PP Community phone/physical keyboard.

In xfce (though not in Manjaro Phosh, oddly), LibreOffice has laggy typing, but Word 97, despite its 20-second start-up, has none, and once the program is up, it's as robust as anything on the PP. All its features function and it works with the phone's suspend.

HanDBase, my favorite cross-platform database app, also does its job.
