Install 2 operating systems. This is the most normal variant. On all computers only because of metatrader and Quick I put Win.
Trading on linux = pain
TradingView recently launched its Linux version, today with universal packaging for distributions, such as Flatpack, Appimage, or Snap (which for me is comfortable for the user) it is much easier to maintain an application on the penguin platform, I hope that over time this app can come, in wine there are some problems of 100% cpu usage and I have to restart the metatrader terminal, maybe running natively this would not occur!
Hello,
it works very well, I have been using MetaTrader on Linux with wine for a long time. The market also works. The article may be a bit outdated, as it is from 2016.
However, in the terms of use of the Market service it says: "A secure version of the product is automatically generated for each buyer, which allows the product to be used only on the device (computer hardware and operating system) from which the purchase request was sent.purchased products are tied to specific devices and operating system copies. Accordingly, a product cannot be used if the hardware has been replaced or the operating system reinstalled - even if it is hardware of the same type and the same operating system version."
Is it possible for wine to be recognised as a different device, even if it is the same one?
Among other things, the operating system version is displayed to me in MetaTrader 5 as follows: "2021.09.21 03:02:14.185 Terminal Windows 10 build 17763 on Wine 6.17 Linux 5.10.0-8-amd64, Intel Core i5-7300HQ @ 2.50GHz, 2 / 34 Gb memory, 17 / 474 Gb disk, IE 11, Admin, GMT+1".
The data such as"Wine 6.17 Linux 5.10.0-8-amd64" is constantly changing with every new Wine version and every new version of the Linux kernel. Can this become a problem?
And a second, Linux-independent question, if Broker A is changed to Broker B (on the same computer and without reinstalling), and a new MetaTrader installation is used, does this count? I mean, of course, if the Expert Advisor is no longer used with the MetaTrader of the old broker.
Greetings,

The simple question first: changing accounts or brokers does not cause any problems.
I'm not sure about Linux, but I don't think so. In any case, document the before and after well(!) and then, if the problem occurs, contact the service desk. If there was an update of Win 10, it could also happen that MT5 then thought it had a new device or operating system, then the number of non-other updates was increased by one.
If you search here (top right the magnifying glass) for "update Linux"(https://www.mql5.com/en/search#!keyword=update%20Linux%20) there are newer entries for Linuxc and Mac, e.g. https://www. metatrader5.com/en/terminal/help/start_advanced/install_linux or https://www.metatrader5.com/de/news/2194

What exactly would you document? Something like the status quo "2021.09.21 03:02:14.185TerminalWindows 10 build 17763 on Wine 6.17 Linux 5.10.0-8-amd64, Intel Core i5-7300HQ @ 2.50GHz, 2 / 34 Gb memory, 17 / 474 Gb disk, IE 11, Admin, GMT+1", i.e. where data about Wine version, Linux kernel, and hardware are also included? From which it becomes clear that the Wine version and that of the Linux kernel have changed (which means that an activation is potentially no longer valid), but the hardware is the same?
And if an activation is wrongly no longer valid, document the same again?
Thank you very much!

Yes
I run everything on Linux. Currently on Manjaro, because it simply uses fewer resources for the server. The updates always worked very easily. I also had very good experience with openSUSE. Personally, I would never use any other operating system. That's why it also has to run on Linux.
I have almost 60 values that are traded on one system. No problems!
The wine and mono updates run more easily on Manjaro. That's why I'm currently using this distribution.Here's a little guide on how to install metatrader on different distributions. Feel free to add to the list.
Arch 5.16.0+ (Wine 7):
sudo pacman -S wine // Installs wine
sudo pacman -S lib32-gnutls // Installes libarry to prevent proxy question
cd Downloads
wine64 icmarketssc5setup.exe // Or whatever your metatrader installer file is called
Ubuntu 20.04+ / Mint 20.1+ / Popos 20.04+ / ZorinOs 16+:
sudo apt install wine // Installs older stable wine.
cd Downloads
wine64 icmarketssc5setup.exe // Or whatever your metatrader installer file is called
Fedora 35+:
sudo dnf install wine
cd Downloads
wine64 icmarketssc5setup.exe // Or whatever your metatrader installer file is called
In case of missing wine32u.dll or similar. The few missing dlls are located in another place in the /home/.wine folder.
Because not all the missing dll's are actually required, getting the first one(s?) will fix the rest.
Copy them one by one into the .wine/drive_c/windows/syswow64/ folder until it works. (mark show hidden files to see .wine directory in home folder)
MT5 with MQL5 Market is working perfectly fine on modern Wine versions. It's been years since you wrote this article, update it to reflect changes. Everything works.
