A Windows API compatibility layer and program loader for running Windows applications on supported Unix-like systems. The upstream README documents loading Windows executables and implementing Windows APIs through Unix, X11 or macOS equivalents. This is the Wine project mirror, not an entire replacement Windows installation. Application compatibility varies and some programs can crash. Original applications retain their licenses. Use WineHQ for official releases and compatibility guidance; the mirror has no latest GitHub release, and we did not run it.
