Not sure if you're sarcastic or not, so I'll answer your question anyway
EXEsc: a typo by the HN poster, meant to be EXEs, a plural of EXE, the Windows executable format
32-bit EXEs: Windows executables complied for a 32-bit architecture such as x86
xNix: a general way to refer to Unix like systems (Linux, BSDs, MacOS, etc.)
64-bit xNix: most modern operating systems and PCs use a 64-bit architecture, which require additional dependencies to be installed to run applications compiled for 32-bit architectures
So to sum up, this is about running Windows-only software, such as games, on modern Linux and Unix like systems
