CodeWeavers, one of the largest sponsors of the Wine compatibility layer, has announced a major announcement along with CrossOver 20. You already know that this proprietary program is based on Wine to allow running Windows apps on * nix systems with some improvements and facilities over the open source project.
As you know, CodeWeavers has integrated Wine into its CrossOver with some improvements, such as an intuitive and elegant graphical interface, some special patches along with direct support and other improvements. In addition, its developers work directly on the improvement of Wine, which they feed on and that you can use freely and at no cost.
You will also know that CodeWeavers has been working in recent years on another well-known project, the famous Proton by Valve Steam so that the video games of this platform that are native to Windows can work in GNU / Linux. And the truth is that the result is simply surprising, to take your hat off.
Besides that, they also offer direct portability and support services for developers who want to bring their projects to different platforms. And in this sense, they have now contributed PortJump and ExecMode, the new names or brands that have been put to their services. The consulting service is renamed ExecMode, while the portability service PortJump.
As Jeremy White, the founder and current CEO of CodeWeavers, commented, this not only will not affect Wine, but they will enhance your commitment to this project.
