You might want to read this if you buy an ARM-based Chromebook (since they are generally cheaper): https://wiki.winehq.org/ARM Since ARM is a different processor architecture (Intel processors are of the "x86"-type), it's not as easy as "Run Wine and you're fine." You will need an emulator as well: https://wiki.winehq.org/Emulation Just to clarify: If you buy a Chromebook with an Intel processor, you can still run Linux and Wine.

@SylvainLS Thanks. But I was wondering more: What _should_ I download? Or: What did the people download who wrote "It works out of the box"? Maybe some of the problems people have are related to 32 vs 64 bit. On the Wine wiki it says that the 64-bit version still has many bugs, but since the time of 32-bit OSs and 32-bit applications is long gone, I'm a bit hesitant to go down that road. It tends to get messy when installing a lot of 32-bit libraries on 64-bit Linux. But I wasn't sure 64-bit Wine plus 64-bit stud.io was a viable combination. So I'll just try to go all-in on 64 bits and see what happens!

Have you tried it yet? The thing with Chromebooks is that they come in two "versions": One with an ARM processor and one with an Intel processor. On the Intel version, you can run Windows, since it's like any "standard laptop". And then you would not need Wine at all. But on the ARM version, you can only run Android/Linux. The downside of that version is that the processor is pretty "weak" so to speak, so it hardly qualifies as a laptop. It's more like a "large tablet". So I would imagine that it would be lagging and hard to use on that. But that is just a guess from my side, I haven't tried it myself. If you are thinking about buying a Chromebook, I would recommend the more powerful Intel version. The "recommended specs" are not really applicable when you are talking about an ARM-based Chromebook.

Hi all, Sorry for the dumb question: Which Windows version of Stud.io do you download? 32-bit or 64-bit? It's been more than a decade since I used wine, so I guess it has improved a lot since then!
