  1.  @Acetyl53  This is why I still predominately write my programs with C. I care about the user's time. I've read through both Intel and AMD's optimization manuals multiple times and they actually help with more than just writing better assembly, but writing better code in general.

  2. No, don't thank Windows or Bill Gates. It's an accident on Microsoft's part. Thank the members of the WINE development team, and yeah, Gabe Newell too.

  3. I'll take the bait and correct you with, WINE Is Not an Emulator.

  4.  @pgtmr2713  Now I can't tell if you're serious, because it's not an emulator, it's a translation layer.

  5. Agreed that the Win32 API is the most stable API on Linux and I've even taken advantage of that a few times. About 5 years ago I would've said X was, but Wayland is slowly squeezing the life out of it and supplanting it everywhere so it's not such a clean target anymore. I would suggest that the only reason to use WINE to run old software is for games. Libre Office is good enough, so unless you need compatibility with MS Office formats I'd just use that. I've been playing Unreal 1 using WINE and it works better than it did on my Win98 box from 20 years ago. After I get tired of playing it again I may install UT. I have a native installer somewhere for UT, but last time I tried it 20 years ago it didn't quite work and WINE more than likely will.

  6.  @BitsOfTruth  Yeah. Just set up your printer with `winecfg` and voila.

  7.  @mgord9518  Still, even though it is nearly always slower and more bloated, the FlatPak version of Xemu is the only one I've managed to get working. So it's at least got one positive in my book. Well, two if you count Halo 1 and 2 separately.

  8. Yep, already is.

  9. Native build of UT, yay!
