Although we are already done to the mobile experience, we may always need to run Windows programs on our Android mobile. It is precisely the function de Wine and that it reaches version 5.0 after having been with us for a few years.
Among some of the features that we can find in Wine 5.0 is the support for multiple monitors, the re-implementation of XAudio 2 and support for Vulkan 1.1, the cross-platform API open source for developing apps with 3D graphics.
Before going on to comment a bit about what Wine is and how it can help us, we are going to anticipate the news of this app in 5.0. We could also call Wine as a Windows Compatibility Layer that allows us to allows running full Windows applications on our mobile.
And it is in 5.0 where we will find all the efforts of the team carried out during a whole year. The list of changes is very long and the vast majority are technical, but we can include them within what has been said about the support for multiple monitors, the XAudio 2 implementation and Vulkan 1.1 support.
Now we could ask ourselves what need we can have for an app like Wine. A quick example: disable Chrome on your Android mobile to use Firefox with your favorite extensions. Import uBlock settings as a text file from the desktop version on your PC. By having Chrome disabled, Firefox will render all the tabs in other apps by default.
Be that as it may, a well technical app that can come in handy to try to bring the experience of a desktop app that does not yet have its version on our Android mobile. If you want to try it, go through the link that we provide below to be before the app preview.
