I don't have a lot of experience but I was able to get Baofeng's GT-18 programming software working and programming on wine. If I was already an experienced wine user it would've been easier. It's the first time I dove in. Even the serial programming worked fine, I just had to see which /dev/ was linked to which COM. Still, native Linux (or CHIRP support) would be better.
