This version of FFmpeg Batch A/V Converter is designed to work in Linux by using Wine 9.0 or higher. Wine staging versions work fine too. Some video encoding tests show that performance in Ubuntu 22 is equal, even better than in Windows 11 on the same PC.
Instructions for installation will vary depending on Linux version

After installation you will be able to run setup.exe or FFBatch.exe right-clicking on it and selecting "Open with wine".
NOTE: When prompted, install wine-mono or application will not work, unless you installed earlier (wine-mono-9.3.1-x86.msi).
If you don't need visual styles, you can disable them at Desktop integration tab, Appearance, 'No theme'. It can slighly improve response time.
You can use the included shell script to create a shortcut to the application:
chmod +x wine-create-shourtcut.sh
./wine-create-shortcut /path/to/FFBatch.exe
