I want to run it in Linux but from the app that is already on the Windows partition where it is now. In my case, of course, the FF that I want to use is already unpacked and has been living on my Windows partition.ĭoing web searches for this is difficult because everything in a search seems to be about how Wine works only on the Linux partition. XnView worked perfectly but Firefox would not work at all - and PA Firefox is something people that works when unpacking the PA version with Wine. For my intended usage (Linux Live USB with persistence and PortableApps). Are there directions on how to use Wine in Linux to run Portable Apps that are installed on (more like extracted to) my Windows partition? Results are spotty when simply using Wine targeted to apps in the Windows partition while running Linux. I was looking for USB flash drives with decent random 4k read/write speeds. Linux has an equivalent with Orbital Apps but I want to use the same programs with the same settings on both OSes. That's why I use the free software from on my windows hard drive.

So I just backup 100% of everything as a portable app whenever I can. Orbital-Apps has released the Portable Apps for Ubuntu 16.04 as part of its product offerings. To streamline my backups I don't want to have to dig into some program's folder to know exactly where my settings are when I do backups.
