Literally the only reason I keep a Windows machine around is to run proprietary software that I simply can’t replace, like games and software suites for specific hardware.
Thanks to WINE/Proton, I can’t even remember the last time I turned on that Windows machine. I think it might’ve been years. I should probably turn it on just to cycle the battery (notebook) a little and run updates.
Ew no what the fuck why would I want Teams to run in my brain it’s bad enough on a Windows desktop.
Are you telling me wine is not emulation?
It IS an emulation. Wine only allows us to run windows applications not windows itselfWrong
btw the joke is that Wine literally stands for “Wine Is Not an Emulator”
That’s hilarious, I couldn’t have been more obviously wrong
That’s not what emulation is. Emulators imitate hardware. WINE receives Windows system cells and returns the appropriate responses.
So it emulates system calls?
No, it translates system calls. Very different.
My fault, I genuinely thought wine was an imitation. Honestly I don’t use it much
It’s okay, Comrade Sharkfucker
This must we why WINE never worked for me. I tried running it without drinking alcohol first
It is by Wine alone I set my .exe’s in motion It is by prefix creation that DLLs acquire form The registry acquires keys The keys hopefully don’t cause warnings It is by Wine alone I set my .exe’s in motion
in their mind
Fake. Most windows applications are not open source.
How else would you even do it?
Can confirm, I’m penguin and do Wine all the time!
How come there’s no peach wine?
