Wine is an emulator.

because the windows API is a massive mess

Wine (originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator") is a compatibility layer

>>60251029
WINE wasn't even primarily made for Linux, retard. It's cross-platform.

>>60251029

BSDfags can cleanly implement Linux binary compatibility on BSD
Wine can't do Windows compatibility on anything
What's at fault here?

That's its whole problem today really.
Its primary target isn't GNU/Linux, its OS X and Apple has neglected their desktop OS so much now that's become a serious issue.

The D3D11 support they've been working on for instance only works on a single vendor's hardware in GNU/Linux because they can't use modern OpenGL 4.2+ or Vulkan and have to instead abuse undefined behavior in 'compatibility' mode to work around Apple's OpenGL 4.1 restriction.

The internet never forgets.

the wine pre-2000 was but not the 2017 one as emulate makes no sense when you can just provide the dlls

Your parents, for not aborting you.

I... what? Do you think that's all wine does?

>>60251112
It truly never does.

Nice.

Who cares, what I'm asking is if there is any chance of escaping this vortexed spynet that looks into my computer while still using halfway decent software.

Why is WINE so unstable? How do we fix it?
