I foolishly installed PlayOnLinux, because I wanted Microsoft's Freecell and Spider Solitaire. I do have Aisleriot but when you have to click the completed piles 50 times to win the game, after a while it messes with your motor system (i.e. tendinitis, carpal tunnel etc). As usual, I got nowhere. Never had any luck with Wine and its relatives. I am basically of the opinion that you don't need Windows stuff on Linux, but this is an exception. I am developing problems with my wrist/arm because of all the mouse-clicking. But how do I uninstall it? Can't do it via terminal. I could try Synaptic, but a search yielded a bunch of green boxes and I don't want to remove something essential.

Solved it. I needed to put playonlinux in the terminal exactly like that, not PlayOnLinux, or play-on-linux etc. I used the apt-get purge --auto-remove command, all is well now.
As for aisleriot, I guess I'll just line up the piles up and call it good. Kills one's stats, however...

works offline as a chrome/chromium app. There's lots of these, this is just an example I quickly found and seems to work.
sudo apt install bodhi-chromium
At least it has an auto-complete button. But it didnt pop up until I had every card showing.

For that matter, even epiphany web can do something similar with a site like this:
Makes it an app with its own icon and menu entry etc. This one seems to have lotsa automatic stuff, even put my aces up for me... perhaps its configurable tho I didnt check settings.

Thanks! I will check these out. Although anytime I see the word "Google" I have a tendency to tread carefully.
