If you weren't who you are I would basically make that thread in one response. However, since you are cotton, top kek bottom frag.

Wine and computer clusters are neck and neck! The votes end on the 7th.

I might add some fun things as I gain other interests to some of these projects. Such as, clustering computers together and making them mine Ethereum or something crazy like that.

So, You Wanna Use Wine for Video Games? Linux

Why hello there inquiring reader. As of this post, I have been pushed to do a post on how to do wine. Because of some health things and recent discoveries I have been a bit side tracked, but am taking the time to do this now as I believe some new linux users are coming into view here and are interested in how to game using wine. Now a brief history here. First time I used wine was on a Lenovo B575 APU laptop back in 2012. I think….. 1.4 or 1.5 had just come out? There were a lot of hurdles because a lot of code had to be done by hand. .NET had not become open source yet and a lot of things didn’t work very well. Since steam wasn’t on linux yet, a lot of people were using wine, including me. Since then I have become rather well acquainted with its weird little tendencies and I know somewhat what its capable of, though recently I haven’t really been playing with it as much as I used to 1-2 years ago. I haven’t had time to stress test every version of wine, and with so many versions coming out nowadays with so much progress I couldn’t hardly keep up with the devs. Just keep in mind I’m not 1:1 with it anymore so a lot of my info might be a bit dated, but relevant to how to use it. So what is wine? Many people think it is a VM or an emulator, some think its magic, most know it as a compatibility layer. “What do you mean by that? Compatibility layer?” Well, in windows, you have compatibility layers for older versions of the OS that cover old kernel features, DLL’s that no longer get maintained or don’t work anymore, or older processor features that are no longer available in the modern OS you might be using. For example, the draw systems in windows 95 are no longer available as of Windows XP, so you would use a compatibility layers to get whatever 3D app you had in your XP machine to work, whether CAD or a game. The same applies here in linux with Wine. Wine essentially is tied to the linux systems we have today, such as pulseaudio, OpenGL, and kern…
