Would Wine (Proton) work out of the box on M1 Linux? My knowledge of Wine is limited. Based on the How Wine works 101 article [1]:
> The code inside the executables is “portable” between Windows and Linux (assuming the same CPU architecture).
because the CPU architecture is different, Wine would need changes to support it too - just like x32 and x64. Is that correct?

- gorbypark 4y agoApple has released Rosetta for linux. I believe the use case is running x86 binaries inside of an Arm virtual machine on Apple Silicon, instead of emulating an entire x86 CPU and running the entire OS as x86. Apparently it works pretty good and some people have even used it on non-Apple arm chips. Anyways, I wonder if it could be used in combination with something like Proton to emulate x86 on linux.
