Virtual Machines vs Wine: Embracing Windows on Linux

Virtual Machines vs Wine: Embracing Windows on Linux

Link: Linux Mystery Unlike virtual machines or traditional emulators, Wine does not fully simulate the entire Windows environment. Instead, it translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls, which is the standard interface for Unix-like systems. By avoiding full simulation, Wine saves the performance and memory overhead that comes with running a complete Windows operating system, … Read more
