This page documents programs that can work alongside Plucky, but only if the right Plucky rules are in place.

Also, consider importing common-windows-programs to have many common programs (especially Microsoft programs) work with no further configuration required.

If you import either classic or wimpy, you already have common-windows-programs imported recursively.

See also incompatibility.
