I dumped Windows about 6 months ago and have not had a moment of regret. But our volunteer fire department just started using a Windows (only) tool for managing call outs etc.
I’m running Debian 13.3 and the Wine 10.0 from Debian.
I’ve played around a bit and worked through a few minor issues and can now run the various apps that ship with Wine - including iexplorer with network.
But when I try to run the one app I need, I get the following text:

The application opens, but just displays an empty window. I’m guessing it’s trying to connect to their server before doing something else.
I believe the app I’m trying to run is electron based and my searches show that this has historically been an issue and I’ve tried a few of the hints I found - even though they were years old and for old versions of Wine.
I know it’s a long shot, but do these error messages suggest anything obvious that I should try?
Hmm. You might be able to turn off the sandboxing by passing “–no-sandbox” as an argument on the command-line (depending on how the app is set up to launch), but some search results I’ve found suggest something’s already gone wrong by the first line and there may just be a bug with logging in old versions of Chromium…
Do you already know what this app is supposed to do? If it just loads a website (and doesn’t interface with local files/hardware), you might try to see if you can figure out what it’s accessing and load it directly in a regular browser instead. Alternatively, if it’s not bundled up in some annoying way (or shipped with custom DLLs for Windows), it might be possible to copy the scripts out and just run them under a Linux version of Electron?
