Imagine it becomes easier to run Windows x86 programs on Linux, than on Windows. And I won’t be surprised at all if performance is better.

Imagine if THAT becomes Linux’ killer feature.

A more lightweight system without the crazy system requirements, certain systems more stable and easier to get into for gaming, no ads and no spyware out of the box, no extra cruft nobody needs out of the box, and better support for x86 emulation on ARM.

Now THAT is a checklist to getting people interested.

There is also the free of charge aspect, but I’m not sure how appealing that would be, with Windows being bundled in.

Anything else I missed, feel free to let me know.

Alyssa Rosenzweig stay winning. Incredible work as always.

We might live in a strange world where it’ll be easier to run Windows programs on ARM with Linux than on the OS they’re written for.

WhiteHotaru ,

It is crazy how many highly skilled people put a lot of free work into pushing Linux forward, because of „let’s see, if we can get this thing working!”

I love the free software community.

LodeMike ,

That’d be cool.

I mean, can’t you just run it with qemu-user anyway?

M500 ,

Let me know if I don’t know enough about what you are talking about, but I think your saying to use qemu to o run windows.

This is about running x86 code on arm processors, like what Apple does with Rosetta.

Penta ,

Qemu can emulate one architecture on another. And qemu-user can be used to run a single userspace-program on a different architecture.

LodeMike ,

This is what I was refering to.

I might be very mistaken, but I don’t think QEMU can link mixed-architecture dependencies. Box86 can run an x86 game on ARM and link ARM-native shared objects for OpenGL, thus emulating strictly only what’s not available as native.

I guess it is more performant.
