Elizabeth Figura, a Wine Developer at
CodeWeavers, speaks with SE Radio host Jeremy Jung about the Wine
compatibility layer and the Proton distribution. They discuss a
wide range of details including system calls, what people run
with Wine, how games are built differently, conformance and
regression testing, native performance, emulating a CPU vs
emulating system calls, the role of the Proton downstream
distribution, improving Wine compatibility by patching the Linux
kernel and other related projects, Wine's history and
sustainment, the Crossover commercial distribution, porting games
without source code, loading executables and linked libraries,
the difference between user space and kernel space, poor Windows
API documentation and use of private APIs, debugging
compatibility issues, and contributing to the project.
