- jraph 7y agoWell, you are right but I expected to find an article speaking about Wine running on native Windows without WSL, which would make it interesting in another way. I would not expect Wine not to run on WSL. What I learned from the article though is that WSL1 does not run 32 bit binaries (and that someone botched their registry trying to run Wine on Windows back in 2004, which I found funny).

It's been used to support ancient games that depend on certain old quirks that have changed in more recent Windows. It's also used by graphics driver developers, because Wine's implementation works on both Windows and Linux, so they can study differences at the driver level on both platforms.
