CodeWeavers Launches CrossOver Preview For Linux ARM64

([WINE] 102 Minutes Ago CrossOver For Linux ARM64)


CodeWeavers announced this morning a new CrossOver Preview that includes Linux ARM64 support for the first time. This commercial software built atop Wine is now comfortable with the state of running Windows x86/x64 apps on Linux ARM64 and even the ability ro enjoy many Windows games on ARM64 Linux devices like the System76 [1]Thelio Astra .

CodeWeavers' CrossOver is now available in preview form for Linux ARM64 devices. This builds off all the upstream Wine ARM64 work the past several years. CodeWeavers engineers did a lot of testing of this port using the System76 Thelio Astra desktop with Ampere Altra processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics.

Games like Cyberpunk 2077, Hades II, Path of Exile 2, and others are expected to be playable on Linux ARM64 hardware with this new CrossOver build for i386 and x86-64 emulation on AArch64.

One promising concept that I came up with right away was that you could
manufacture personal air bags, then get a law passed requiring that they be
installed on congressmen to keep them from taking trips. Let's say your
congressman was trying to travel to Paris to do a fact-finding study on how
the French government handles diseases transmitted by sherbet. Just when he
got to the plane, his mandatory air bag, strapped around his waist, would
inflate -- FWWAAAAAAPPPP -- thus rendering him too large to fit through the
plane door. It could also be rigged to inflate whenever the congressman
proposed a law. ("Mr. Speaker, people ask me, why should October be
designated as Cuticle Inspection Month? And I answer that FWWAAAAAAPPPP.")
This would save millions of dollars, so I have no doubt that the public
would violently support a law requiring airbags on congressmen. The problem
is that your potential market is very small: there are only around 500
members of Congress, and some of them, such as House Speaker "Tip" O'Neil,
are already too large to fit on normal aircraft.
