What's the best way to run Launchbox in Linux?

[Starfox]

Wine already supports WPF but i dont know whats wrong here or why Launchbox dont run stable.

Thats a thing only a developer can answer.

Taking that problem into account, for me that would be the way forward, to make it compatible with Wine, instead of dedicating efforts to native development.

I dont know...i think this would be more work than replacing wpf with a linux equivalent like Avalonia.
And even if LaunchBox would work in Wine...to launch your linux Emulators youd need a wrapper for that or use Windows Emulators on top of that. That screams for bugs and incompatibilities

Any Admin or Dev knows if are there any news about a Linux version of LaunchBox?

I've already lost hope.

The devs have to feel it, too, right?  The pressure to unshackle themselves from a hard Windows dependency?  I totally understand how we ended up here, but world affairs are causing people to change their behaviors and preferences in rapid order.  There are still a lot of people trying to withhold from a Windows 11 upgrade.

LaunchBox is the biggest blocker to me going Linux.  I've invested too much in my LB/BB setup to walk away from it, but have a very strong desire to divest from Windows.
