this is incorrect. #win32 applications run natively on #linux with #wine.

Is it really “running natively” if it requires running through a translation layer? WINE is not an emulator, but it also isn’t a native runtime library with a stable API, it’s a translation layer translating a reverse engineered, unstable third party’s API

#GNU's also just reverse engineered #UNIX. the #wine / #win32 api is more stable than the #gnome api.
