Had an embarrassing thing happen to me today...TL;DR: Please add some mention of the firewall in the Networking section of the guide, at least in regards to the Samba sharing configuration section. I think it would greatly benefit certain users, as out-of-the-box this feature will not function with the default firewall settings.
Quote from: Jerry on November 25, 2016, 02:07:11 AMI've added some new content to the Manual (online Manual shows these). Would someone mind writing up a short, plain English explanation of what Wine is and what you use it for? Thank you.In short (plain English explanation): QuoteWine application is a compatibility layer capable of running many Windows programs in Linux.A bit more descriptive: QuoteWine application is a compatibility layer capable of running many Windows programs in Linux. Software programs are designed for different operating systems, and most won't work on systems that they weren't designed for.Windows programs won't natively run in Linux because they contain instructions that the system can't understand until they're translated by the Windows environment. In that same way, Linux programs won't run under the Windows operating system because Windows is unable to interpret all of their instructions.Through Wine's compatibility layer, when a Windows program tries to perform a function that Linux doesn't normally understand, Wine will translate that program's instruction into one supported by Linux.I think that's plain enough, and boldly describes what it is and what it does.
