Looks like a great release. Wine works like magic, and it's a huge boon towards making Linux a daily driver OS. Big thanks to the developers.

- stingraycharles 7y agoYup! Just had a LAN party with some of my friends, and we usually play very old games; think: red alert 2, Warcraft 3, etc. The irony with these old games is that wine is actually better equipped at emulating these very old environments, and as such has much better compatibility. I had to go all kinds of hoops of installing old winsock32 drivers etc on windows 10, but all that works out of the box with wine!
- arminiusreturns 7y agoIt's good to remember lots of this is because of Codeweavers hard work on the paid/supported version of Wine. Sometimes I think I'd go sweep floors just to get a foot in the door there because I align with their business objectives so much. If you like what wine has become, don't forget to thank Codweavers!
- coldpie 7y agoWe don't need any floor sweepers right now, but if you are a skilled C programmer, we are hiring!
- arminiusreturns 7y agoUnfortunately I am not(Ops,SRE type here), but keep up the good work anyway!
- CharlesW 7y ago> If you like what wine has become, don't forget to thank Codweavers! Yes! I'm sure they appreciate kind words, but I thanked them by buying Crossover.
- m-p-3 7y agoValve also contributes with Proton, I'm not sure how much is upstreamed though.
- shmerl 7y agoThey try to upstream whatever is acceptable. Only what can't be upstreamed for some reason (hacks or something Wine project doesn't want to accept) remains outside.
- arminiusreturns 7y agoAbsolutely Valve also! Proton made my GNU/linux only life so much nicer the last few years!
- shmerl 7y agoAnd lately also because Valve backed a lot of gaming related Wine development.
