How to run Gigabyte's utility

General system Applications

hi, do you know how to run the Gigabyte utility on EOS? I tried running it with vanilla Wine, with Lutris’ Wine, with HGL’s Wine and HGL’s Proton, its GUI crashes every time & leaves processes that eat up resources in the background that can’t be killed unless you log off or reboot
here’s the output of inxi -b

this problem is just to prove that Linux, or more particularily EOS, can perfectly do what winlol does, unless you play online battle royale games with some anti cheat, like Fortnite
thank you

Many applications that need access to hardware won’t work under wine.

Linux, in fact, can’t run all Windows applications.

Running some proprietary software designed for windows is not in my opinion a valid point for this kind of argument.
For example most of the functions Gigabyte utility provide can be set directly in bios or with other software native to the linux world. Also these manufacturer’s “utilities” often come with obscure function - e.g. some modes for gaming/power saving/movie mode. They do not provide information what it actually does (some companies do not allow to install them as a security risk). Even wine developers prioritise their effort on software that is actually useful - these utilities are not a high priority.

But if you want to know more you should probably run wine from terminal with some debuging enabled - for example run WINEDEBUG=+all wine executable.exe and see what all those errors say. Perhaps you are just missing some vcruntime or dx. Most likely it is just a garbage software that won’t run.
