Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
Did you know Wine stands for "Wine is Not a Emulator"? Probably.
Wine is, has been, and always will be the central compatability layer for all Unix and Unix-like systems that is capable of running Windows software and games on it. Incase you didn't know, Wine actually got it's name from "Windows Emulator" until later in the future where it's meaning got shifted to a recursive acronym, in order to preserve the history of Wine, without changing it's identity. Wine's name is referenced by the fact that no processor code execution emulation occurs when running any Windows application. In a 2007 survey, there were more like 38,000 Linux desktop users that were using Wine. Wine utilizes the Win32 API and is capable of running anything from the DOS era, to Direct X 11 rendering techniques. Wine's first inital release was in July 1993 and it's most recent version release, 2.0, in January 2017.
