Windows Programs on Linux | Introduction to WINE
Chris Titus Tech
In this video I am going over Windows Programs on Linux using Wine, what it does, and how you can use almost any Windows program on Linux.
How to Run Windows Programs on Linux?
- Run a Virtual box inside Linux that is running the full version of Windows
- Run WINE
What is it? -WINE is a compatibility layer and stands for WINE IN IS NOT AN EMULATOR! -It translates Windows System Calls to a POSIX-compliant system call that Linux can read
Why use it? -Its extremely lightweight and often times programs will run just as well, if not better because of the low overhead.
How to use it? -Creating its running environment... called a Wine Bottle. $ WINEARCH=win32 or win64 WINEPREFIX=PATH wine programname -Customizing the environment... using WineTricks or winecfg $ WINEPREFIX=PATH winetricks *Note: Can't undo customizations and packages require installation in a certain order -Common Best Practices
- Using independent bottles for each program
- Killing all Wine Processes
- Only use trusted sources... Windows Viruses also run in Wine
- NEVER use Wine as ROOT or launch via sudo command! -Games and what works great
- DXVK translates games in real-time to from DirectX to Vulkan Currently DX11 and DX10. DX9 support being added this year.
- DX9 and older games can sometimes struggle because they aren't translated fast enough, which leads to poor performance.
- Make sure to follow my Guide on the DXVK and ESYNC here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTky9UoYVsk&t=305s
