Hello. Is there any plans to support one commander on Linux? This probably hasn’t happened yet because there are some serious difficulties. The only reason why I don't switch to Linux is one commander. :)

OC is built on WPF which is Windows-only UI framework, so it is not possible as Microsoft will never make it cross-platform. But honestly, I used Linux total of a few days in my life so I only remember frustrations I had with it, and while I personally dislike Windows more and more every day (especially 11) as user, developer and system admin (my day job), I still prefer it over Linux.

Linux has a Wine emulator that lets you run Windows applications. I can guess. Will Onecommander work this way? Is there a relationship between the OS and the files so that the app works like File Explorer?

I assume it should work with Wine as that one will translate the calls. The only thing I know that might break is with some files that contain unsuppored characters for Windows, as I've seen reports of crash when filename contained : (other than the drive separator) or "|" as linux supports those and even names newline character and multiple lines of text in name, and Windows doens't have APIs to work with those.
