Wine on Linux
A free compatibility layer that runs many Windows programs directly on Linux, without a copy of Windows.
Wine runs Windows programs on Linux without Windows. Results vary by app and version, and vendors of commercial apps generally do not support it. Community ratings live in the WineHQ AppDB, which RunsWhere links to rather than copies.
- Free and open source. Bottles is a free front end that manages Wine environments for you.
- No Windows license needed.
- The WineHQ AppDB currently shows a browser check page, so RunsWhere could not read its ratings automatically. Ratings marked not verified are waiting for a manual check.
Used on: Linux
