The Wine 7.0 release was supposed to be the big first step towards running 32 bit programs on 64 bit wine. Has anyone tried this out?

what difference does that make
maybe they should merge some of the proton pacthes so it's usable

No longer any need to keep duplicated 32 bit libraries on your system. Less need to maintain 32 bit packages for distros.

Big if true.

*** WoW64
- The 64-bit Windows-on-Windows (WoW64) architecture is implemented, and
supports running a 32-bit Windows application inside a 64-bit Unix host
process, using thunks to map 32-bit NT system calls to the 64-bit NTDLL.
- WoW64 thunks are implemented for most Unix libraries, enabling a 32-bit PE
module to call a 64-bit Unix library. Once the remaining modules are
converted to PE, this will make it possible to run 32-bit applications
without installing 32-bit Unix libraries.

codeweavers implemented it like 3 years ago to run 32-bit windows binaries on 64-bit only macOS 10.15, now they make it open and contribute it back to wine

Hm, may try it out now. Considered multilib to run 32bit programs but noped out when complexity hit.

This would mean I could finally run Slackware without multilib, since Pat only releases a pure 64-bit distro. I'm hoping that it becomes available to do within the next major release.
Luke Sanders
wait, does that mean we don't need multilib enabled anymore?

I'm not sure. As long as you aren't using unimplemented thunks for the program it seems like it should.

Steam is still a 32-bit program which fucking sucks if you use Slackware. I don't know what Valve is waiting for.
Cooper Robinson
I don't care about steam

CrossOver is open source though...

Next major release in 6 years lmao

You must be a LARPer. No self-respecting Slackware user would install fucking Steam.

I have tried it out. It worked well, but I did find a performance increase

Wtf Valve just let me not install 32 bit games already

Why?
