What works
- Creating new HarmonyOS projects
- Editing files
- Browsing the IntellIJ plugin catalog (which means network connection is working file)
- Install the HarmonyOS SDK for C/C++-based projects
- In-app upgrade to DevEco Studio 3.0.0 beta
What does not
- The DevEco splash screen blocks all windows
- GNOME's window titlebar conceals the custom titlebar used in DevEco Studio (and possibly other IntellIJ-based IDEs)
- Unable to download HarmonyOS Previewer (Simulator) as well as SDK for JS/eTS/ArkTS-based and Java-based projects (only C/C++ can be installed successfully) due to HTTP request timeout
Workarounds
What was not tested
- Installing IntellIJ plugins
- Running apps in Previewer/Simulate*
- Running apps with real device*
- Build app*
*due to uninstallable SDK components
Hardware tested

- GPU: Intel

Additional Comments
- This app MUST be installed on a 64-bit Wineprefix
- You will also need to install Git and Node.js separately, which are not bundled by the installer
- Git is currently rated as Bronze or even Garbage, but these reviews came from an older version of WINE (1.x - 4.x)
- Node.js is currently (as of 2023-09-08) not yet reviewed in AppDB
- Tested using Windows environment set to Windows 10
- Tested using unclean 64-bit Wineprefix (i.e. with other third-party programs already installed) following library overrides for:
- *mscoree (native)
- *mscorwks (native)
- msftedit (native, builtin)
- msxml (native, builtin)
- netapi32 (native, builtin)
- riched20 (native, builtin)
- riched30 (native, builtin)
- richtx32 (native, builtin)
- vb6run (native, builtin)
- Note that DevEco Studio may eventually or may not work well without those overrides, so these are declared by the tester to consider possible bias in testing
- Test results documented on https://reinhart1010.id/blog/2023/09/08/lets-test-deveco-studio-on-wine-linux/
