      I mean, it is true, but, who said otherwise?

      They were talking about translating layer, which would be correct, wouldn’t it.

      This. It’s literally what it stands for.

      W - Wine

      I - Is

      N - Not

      E - an Emulator

      Wine is not a hardware emulator.

      However, its very purpose is to emulate the Windows runtime environment. Translating API calls is only part of that. Also, the project abandoned that silly backronym years ago.

      So kindly leave people alone when they refer to it emulating, or as an emulator, or something that emulates. They’re not wrong.

        Isn’t it mostly a reimplementation of the windows API? Where do we draw the distinction?

          The same place you would draw it between a square and a quadrilateral.
