TLDR: StartAllBack, ExplorerPatcher and some other projects are being blocked on 24H2.

      Basically, they like to drink wine.

      No. I’m kidding. WINE stands for WINE Is Not an Emulator, and it allows you to run Windows applications on a Linux machine. It’s far from perfect, but it can be a lifesaver when switching from Windows to Linux. What user melpomenesclevage is trying to say, is that you can use WINE to significantly blunt the blow / daily usability learning curve when switching, to keep some of your familiar applications as is.

      Edit: here’s their site https://www.winehq.org/ the also explain it much better than I.

          Not really an emulator, though the end result is similar. WINE translates the instructions sent between the OS and software to languages each other understands. It’s like a Babel Fish for Windows programs and the Linux OS.
