Yes I am aware of this, but think of it this way... If you wanted a program but it was made only for windows not mac not linux nor any other OS, would you use WINE to run that program?
I would if I couldn't find an alternative program for linux.

I did not mean like that I just meant it was a program you would like to have.

Then also a good thinking for start is to share your code as you are sharing the program.
I hope this helped

Thanks, but one question have you ever heard of wine? You probably have, but with wine you can run a windows executable file on linux.
Thats not exactly truth only if you configure it properly to run via wine. But still this is not the way for me. I don't really like to use programs that use wine, as its too unsafe for me. I only use 1 (TeamViewer) cause I must use it.

Thats my point though - There has never been a Windows application that I couldn't find an alternative for. "Liking" it is irrelevant. If its functional thats all I require. And quite frankly if you can do something on Windows - Someone, somewhere, has developed something equivalent on Linux with a few exceptions of the large game studios. But im not a gamer.

Why dont you use the native Linux TeamViewer application? I do... it works fine.
