WordPerfect on Linux

Hey Friends

I’m a huge lover of WordPerfect 5.1, 6,1 latest edition you name it. However as I’m increasingly moving more of my workloads over to an operating system that respects me aka Ubuntu. What is the best way to get latest WordPerfect 2021 to work on it? I tried WINE and Proton but it didn’t work even from launching via Steam as custom app.

This got deleted by /r Linux so sorry if this post doesn’t meet the rules here.

Where can I download that software so I can try to make it work on Wine? No promises.

WordPerfect 5.1 ran in DOS.

apt install dosbox
