 What is Wine? How to Use it?

Wine is an application layer that enables it to run Windows software on POSIX compatible operating strings. Wine stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator (Wine Is Not an Emulator). The expansion of Wine is confused by many users as a Windows Emulator. Wine should not be expected to run all Windows applications.

Because all the libraries of Windows and all other capabilities of Windows have not been fully adapted to Linux. Although the performance levels of the applications that Wine runs vary, some applications running with Wine can run faster than the Windows environment. The fact that Wine is running software does not mean that it will run that software smoothly. With the Application Database of Wine, detailed information about the working status of the software tested with Wine can be obtained.
