We know that the famous Wine project, yes, the one that implements a compatibility layer to be able to install native Microsoft Windows software on Unix-like operating systems continues its intense development. And also, the version Wine 3.0 RC1 it will be out imminently in a few days. Probably on the 8th it will be ready as we have been able to know and thanks to what Alexandre Julliard has revealed according to the plans presented for Wine 3.0 in his roadmap.
