Hangover is a compatibility layer that runs x86_64 and x86_32 Windows applications on ARM64 (aarch64) Linux by combining Wine with emulator DLLs (FEX, Box64). It emulates only the application code while executing Wine/Unix system calls natively for better performance.

Use cases

run Windows x86_64 apps on ARM64 Linux
run 32-bit Windows applications on aarch64 without 32-bit Unix libraries
run x86 Windows games on ARM Linux laptops
execute Windows software on ARM64 servers via Wine
run ARM64 Windows apps natively without emulation
run x86_64 Windows apps on RISC-V Linux

When to choose

you need to run x86/x86_64 Windows applications on ARM64 Linux with Wine
you want better performance than emulating an entire Wine installation under Box64 or QEMU
your system lacks 32-bit Unix libraries but you need to run 32-bit Windows apps
you want to run native ARM64 Windows applications without any emulation

When to avoid

you need to run Windows applications on x86_64 Linux hosts (use plain Wine)
you require PPC64le support, which is no longer maintained
you need a turnkey GUI solution rather than a Wine-based compatibility layer
your application depends on kernel drivers or deep system integration that Wine cannot provide
