Truly amazing software. I only recently learned that Crossover, which enables running windows software (mainly games) on MacOS, is built on Wine and significantly contributes to Wine Development.
- ekianjo 9mo agoCrossover is made by Codeweavers who are the devs of Wine.
- tomnipotent 9mo agoThey're also responsible for Proton in collaboration with Valve. Codeweavers CTO has been project lead of Wine for three decades.
- ekianjo 9mo ago> responsible for Proton Part of Proton only. Proton is a mix of various projects. Esync, Fsync, Wine, DXVK, and more... > Codeweavers CTO Yes Julliard is very famous and key to the project
- tomnipotent 9mo ago> Proton is a mix of various projects They didn't magically get bundled together. Proton still has a substantial amount of engineering behind it.
- embedding-shape 9mo agoI think the point was that there is way more people involved in Proton that the people/work coming from Wine, not to trivialise the amount of work integrating a bunch of projects take.
- ekianjo 9mo agoYes. Wine for one never had a high performance DX11 rendererer and DXVK was a revolution for gaming.

- CodesInChaos 9mo agoI assume Esync and Fsync will not live much longer, now that NTSync is supported by the both Wine 11 and the kernel 6.14.
- yshui 9mo ago> who are the devs of Wine. they employs many devs of Wine (including the project lead, Alexandre Julliard). but technically Wine is still an independent open-source project, and has many contributors from outside Codeweavers.
