News Wine 10.0, the latest Windows compatibility layer for Linux, has a stable release

Wine is so great that has to be preinstalled in any desktop Linux or installed in one click. It is like a materialized dream. Light years ahead of any virtual boxes or KVMs.

Imagine how computers would ideally handle different operating system, Linux and Windows in this case. You would want that computer just somehow by itself figured out what was what you just clicked on and then just run it immediately without you switching from Linux to Windows to run Windows app or run Windows app in some dedicated virtual machine etc. Wine just transparently runs Windows in Linux as if you are already in Windows, no need to move in different windows like in VirtualBox for example, no need to setup this virtual box, no need to dedicate to it some video space, harddrive space or allocate portion of memory - Wine and hence Windows shared with Linux entire computer resources.

And when you go to the directory called "wine" you will find there your familiar Windows structure

The only damn problem of Wine before was difficulty to install it. Tons of complaints with version 6
