OpenGL and Windows VM

[andybob (Andrew Cox)]

Linux desktop is not supported but users have successfully run Roon under Wine, see here:

Ubuntu 17.10 64bit RoonServer with Roon on WINE

I really tried to get my trial working. The problem I have is that I do not have a Windows or Mac available to install the client. The RoonServer installed on my Ubuntu 17.10 64 bit desktop, but my attempts to get WINE to work with a Windows7 install of Roon was problematic. I wiped out my WINE install twice, and I suspect with some other additional work I could get it going. The WINETRICKS was used to add the .NET 4.5 requirement, and I used a Windows drive mapping to point to my ext4 partition…

There are speed advantages from using OpenGL. Users like snappy response.
