Still you need Wine compiled for x86 and all it's dependencies, which could be done with Buildroot or tools like debootstrap.

This approach also integrates well into your Desktop and doesn't require a big image file. This means your native kernel is used and there is no need to emulate one. Still, this solution involves even booting the system and doesn't integrate very good into your desktop.Īt least on Linux it is possible to use QEMU to jump out of emulation at syscall level. There are many instructions for that on the Internet and you can also use different emulators, like e.g. For example you can grab an image from stacklet, this list or somewhere else and run it with QEMU. The easiest thing, but slowest, is to use an emulator to run a full x86 Linux installation in it. Here, we want to discuss some options on how to use Wine together with emulators to achieve what Wine can't do alone. As Wine Is Not an Emulator, all those applications can't run on other architectures with Wine alone. I don't know if there are other question pages, because of the required google account.Wine can run on different architectures, still most available Windows applications are x86 ones. Doing this is emulation, because as the contrary than with Wine, this softwares completely simulate a new PC which runs it's own OS. If you want to talk about emulators, there are some people playing on linux with a Windows VM running with Virtualbox, Xen or KVM and with a GPU passthrougth in order to have decent graphic performances. If you want an alternative of Wine, there is Proton, which can be used for running not steam games, but also CodeWeavers CrossOver or Cedega. Actually, we can even put Steam here because you can add and launch not steam games with it. Lutris is only a front-end for linux games which can install and launch Wine games (but also Steam games, GoG or others) in the same way than Play On Linux or, which are both active projects. There is no emulation with him, the games run directly on the user hardware. Emulator : this one is tricky because there is no emulator in the list. Nice idea to ask the linux community, but wtf, a google form which requires a google account ? I think you are missing your target, and the standard linux user, with this.
