Valve's fork of Wine, a compatibility layer that runs Microsoft Windows executables (DOS, Win32, Win64) on Unix-like systems by translating Windows API calls to Unix, X11, or Mac equivalents. This fork includes Valve-specific enhancements used to power gaming on Linux, such as Proton.
Use cases
- run windows games on linux
- execute win32 applications on macos
- play steam games without windows
- test windows software on unix
- port windows code to native unix executables with winelib
- run windows programs on freebsd
When to choose
- you need to run Windows applications or games on Linux, FreeBSD, or macOS
- you want Valve's enhanced Wine build for gaming workloads
- you want to build or contribute to the Wine codebase with Valve's patches
When to avoid
- you need a stable upstream Wine release rather than Valve's fork
- your application depends on kernel drivers or NTFS-specific features
- you need Windows software on a platform without kernel thread support
