Say it with me, anon:
Wine is not an emulator is not an emulator is not an emulator is not an emulator is not an emulator (recurse to infinity)
>>
>>109994311
Wine isn't emulation. The CPU and GPU rendering is fully native. The only thing that's being translated is directx to vulkan and it has such low overhead and is so fast it's negligible. It's also very stable and basically as stable as native windows.

Any bugs that come from games running on Linux is missing redistributables or stuff the game needs to run. Games run exactly the same code and graphics execution same as Windows. It's not emulation.

Yes and that's why I'm here too. Playing video games doesn't make one a man child either. Most normies spend 8-9 hours a day scrolling short form reels and tik toks, then scroll their goystagram feed with netflix slop in background. I am better than them.

>the only thing that's being translated is directx to vulkan
Wine translates win32 calls into Linux calls; DXVK is what translates DirectX to Vulkan.
You are correct in that it isn't emulation.
>>109994446
It does in fact "just work" as long as you're not trying to run spyware that depends on kernel access.

wine is an emulator, it emulates a windows environment on non-windows operating systems. the name was originally WINdows Emulator, but later became "Wine Is Not an Emulator" in the same kind of joking sense as "GNU's Not UNIX"

however that doesn't mean there's any hardware emulation going on, nor does it mean it runs a copy of actual windows. all wine is is put simply is a set of stand-in windows-compatible libraries that windows programs can link to. since windows programs don't make syscalls directly and rely on linking libraries such as kernel32.dll to talk to the windows kernel instead, wine can intercept everything and translate them to equivalent linux syscalls (along with providing fake/emulated kernel stubs and other servers to maintain the masquerade), so the overhead is often extremely low, sometimes programs can run faster in wine than on windows just because the rest of the system is more efficient.

ideally, a good game is the one with new patterns. the dopamine is from figuring out the puzzle or boss fight. but so many games nowadays are built like casino machines now. it's not about the thrill of problem solving but getting those shinies.
>>
>>109994464
ps. i find it funny how some people are so hell-bent on not calling wine an emulator but nobody complains when someone calls terminal emulators terminal emulators.

doesn't matter, gamedevs have exhausted all human creativity when it comes to game mechanics. Unless some new groundbreaking technology like randomized, fully destructable worlds in mine-craft comes along.
>>
>>109994464
if you call wine an emulator pretty much every program becomes an emulator because libraries that do different system api calls depending on the system you're on

you realize, wine from 98 is not the same as wine from 2026 right?
>>
>>109994229
Now wouldn't that be something to celebrate? I'll never forgive them for what they did to Macromedia.
>>
>>109994502
you realise calling it an emulator doesn't change what it does, right? it's not a bad thing.

everyone knows a terminal emulator is not actually a terminal, it just acts like one, hence an emulator. wine acts like windows to programs run using it. hence an emulator.

Wine is not an emulator because it's not emulating another computer, it's reimplementing Windows API calls to GNU/Linux libraries.

If Wine is an emulator then GCC and Clang are emulators, all JavaScript and Python interpreters are emulators, the Java Virtual Machine is an emulator, etc.
>>
>>109994563
>If Wine is an emulator then GCC and Clang are emulators, all JavaScript and Python interpreters are emulators, the Java Virtual Machine is an emulator, etc.
what are they emulating? a python interpreter isn't an emulator because it doesn't emulate something it's not.
like with the terminal emulator example, they to don't emulate another computer, because terminals are not computers. they emulate what a terminal does.
>>
>>109994575
-- like, the key difference is that wine isn't windows, but it's emulating windows, like it's "pretending" to be windows. cpython isn't emulating a python interpreter, it simply is a python interpreter

free software is the endgame of mature software. nothing else makes sense

i don’t even need to try these to know they aren’t high fidelity adobe clones but probably more like GIMP et al.

Wine is not emulating Windows. What it does is reimplement Windows libraries in GNU/Linux.

A program that runs on Wine is running natively. It is far closer to a linker or an interpreter than to an emulator.
>>
>>109994875
>Wine is not emulating Windows
only in the sense that it's not running windows itself, like it's not a pc emulator like say qemu is (note: qemu doesn't emulate windows either, it can emulate a pc which can then run windows)
>A program that runs on Wine is running natively.
i'm not saying otherwise
