Were it "officially supported", would it not say so on the download page? One would think so...

That was an argument for "it is not just a happy accident, it's tested against wine, too, not only against Windows".

How else would one be able to implement such a "-wine" switch without testing it with WineHQ, too, not only on Windows.

--- Quote ---Q. It seems LTspice is running slightly differently
under WINE/Linux than windows. Why is that?
A. LTspice detects whether or not it's running under
WINE. If so, it works around a few WINE issues.
You can force LTspice to think it's running under
WINE with the command line switch -wine. You can
force it to think it's not with the command line
switch -nowine in case you're interesting in
debugging WINE.

You seem more inclined to rant than to ask why something doesn't work, which might be very time consuming and solve nothing at the end of the day, so I won't argue any longer.  I know LTspice as working very well under WineHQ, and I'm using it like that for many years now.  To me, that's "solid foundation" enough.  Won't split the hair any longer upon this.

eti:
I wouldn't call a request for a firm confirmation that LTspice is "officially supported" on Wine, a "rant" - strong implications and statements were made, I am a very literal, fact-seeking person; it was claimed, I am following up on the claim.

I am neither even slightly upset, annoyed or bothered (since no tone of voice exists, you can't tell that) - I am merely asking for a citation, and if none exists, that's cool - no worries. :)
