FYI, here's a page that explains step-by-step how aptosid uses "recoll" indexer to achieve an offline search for their user manual

OK, will do in the future for issues.

Suggestions I'll still post here for discussion. Like the following one :)

Greatest improvement for the already outstanding Help Manual I would consider the implementation of a search functionality.

You can submit that as an Issue on Github. I would then label it as an 'enhancement'. I've previously looked at ways to include an offline search function in the Help Manual. I'm willing to entertain suggestions for a solution. It has to be offline as the Help Manual still needs to be searched if someones internet connection goes down.

I'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):

Quote
Wine application is a compatibility layer capable of running many Windows programs in Linux.


A bit more descriptive: 

Quote
Wine 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.

Sorry for seeming stupid and preferring Linux - I just don't know any better.

I'm looking for 'point and click' tutorials - think Grandma who has never used a pc before, and her first experience is Linux Lite. That basic.
