I really love Linux Mint, but I hate how Wine ruins my experience with obscure Japanese games that require JP locale. It's fucked up. I wonder if there's a way to virtualize Windows in a way where I just click on the .exe from Linux and the program runs, no need to boot up the virtual system. Is there a way? I know it exists on Mac, but how on Linux?

>>854814 but that's how pararells work on Mac. You just install Windows on it and configure it, then you can just run .exes from your Mac and it works.

which game are you talking about ?
Until now my japanese gamed needed only the japanese locale, maybe you just lack the Windows fonts.
You can copy them from a windows partition like this :
