Wine
Run Windows applications on Linux, macOS, and BSD without a virtual machine.
About Wine
Wine (Wine Is Not an Emulator) is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, and BSD. Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on the fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing Windows applications to integrate seamlessly into your desktop environment.
Wine provides a free and open-source solution for users who need to run Windows-specific software without installing a full Windows operating system. It supports a wide range of applications and games, though compatibility can vary. The project is continuously developed, with stable releases offering a robust environment for many common Windows programs.
