    I love that this project is still going. I rarely use it, but it’s going to be instrumental in preserving tons of Windows abandonware.

      If you game on Linux, you are almost certainly using it.

      I love your comment. Without thinking, I instinctively agreed with you. Then I was like, “wait, why wouldn’t you just run that software on Windows?”. So now I am wondering if you are predicting such a mass migration off Windows that all these Windows apps become abandonware.

      Probably though, part of what you are saying is that it may be easier to maintain compatibility with older software via WINE than on Windows itself.

      64 years from now, when ReactOS comes out of beta, it will be great for that as well.

        Fun fact, dxvk has also been used on windows to improve latency/performance on specific games(as 3rd party mods)

      It also helps that Valve is bankrolling it.
