"In the decades that I've been using Linux, I have not needed a single Windows app because Linux has all the software I require. However, I understand that some people aren't that lucky. You might be one who has a Windows-only application you need to do your job or school, or it's a game you'd love to play. Also: Forget Windows 11: Nobara Linux is the OS for everyone Fortunately, Linux has several ways you can get that Windows app running."
"The name used to stand for Wine Is Not an Emulator, and it serves as a compatibility layer for running Windows apps on Linux. I remember, back in the late '90s, I was part of a Linux User Group and had the pleasure of walking into a meeting and announcing that I'd successfully managed to get the first Diablo game running on Linux."
In decades of Linux use, many common computing needs can be met without Windows software. Some users, however, require Windows-only applications for work, school, or gaming. Linux offers several methods to run Windows apps, but success is not guaranteed and varies by application. Wine functions as a compatibility layer and has matured with GUI front-ends like WineGUI and WineZGUI, reducing the need for command-line work. The Wine Application Database helps assess compatibility. For newcomers, GUI tools offer an easier path. Wine is often reliable for testing and experimentation and is freely available.
