Which version for Linux?

[PJO]

MLO was a casualty of my defection from Windows to Linux some years ago. I would like to use it again and haven't yet decided whether to try

a) the Windows version with WINE

b) the Android version with ANBOX

Any comments / experience with v5.x?

The High-DPI version works fine vai Wine on Ubuntu (X11), but there are occasional display glitches.

Haven't tried the ANBOX version, but I suspect the feature set is significantly reduced, given it's a mobile version (even if there are more features in tablet mode).

Thanks. WINE6? Hiigh-DPI won't be needed for some time. My laptop (running Mint) is FHD only. I thought the attraction of the Android version might be running natively on phone / tablet / Chromebook, but in principle my preference to loosen ties with Google ecosystem. That said, if MLO was written in Go or Flutter it'd be equally available on all platforms.

Android and Windows versions are definitely a different code base. I'm not certain, but I would not be surprised if this was an intentional choice for marketing reasons.

For some features, the functionality is essentially the same across both code bases.

There are some differences based on the platforms, including collation sequences (words starting with diverse special characters may sort differently, also more layers of sort on Windows.

Where there is a significant difference in functionality, the Windows version is almost always higher functionality. The only area I can think of with higher function on the mobile side, is the rules editor for advanced filter rules, which is more recently designed and much easier to use in the mobile version.

Understood, thanks. I wasn't intended to suggest that the code was the same, rather the opposite, and regrettably so. I think I'll stick with WINE.
