Wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows apps and games on Linux, a major part of Valve's Proton and now Wine 11 is finally here.

Each year a new main release is made, so that developers and users have something stable to work with. After that, it splits off again into development releases towards the next major version. So in a few weeks we'll see the first Wine 11.1 build, which will be work towards Wine 12 around this time next year.

Coming in hot with absolutely masses of improvements throughout the whole project. From performance upgrades to massive technical changes, there's a little something for everyone. Some highlights like better Wayland support, better pure 64-bit support to run 32-bit apps, it will use the NTSync kernel module when available for better accuracy and performance, improved ARM64 support and so much more.

I still think they should have bumped the version to 26. They have a yearly release schedule for version bumps, at least two other major pieces of software have already done this and it would have skipped any potential confusion with Windows 11.

I've never used a commodore 64, I found one at a garage sale for like 20 bucks like 15 years ago and didnt get it, and to this day I STILL kick myself over not buying it.
