Wine 10.0, the latest release of the compatibility layer for running Windows applications on Linux, brings improved 64-bit x86 emulation, full ARM64EC support, and revamped high-DPI scaling, as well as an initial revision of a Bluetooth driver.
Starting today, VMware Workstation and VMware Fusion are available for free on both personal and commercial environments. This shift means VMware has discontinued its paid Pro versions, and the free applications now include all the features previously available in the Pro versions.
Highly anticipated: A few years after introducing Linux support for Apple's custom-designed Arm chips, Asahi developers are now shifting their focus to gaming. Getting modern Windows games to run on Apple Silicon isn't exactly a straightforward task, but the devs are clearly enjoying the challenge.
VirtualBox's refreshed UI brings a more modern feel, including a switch from simplified controls for beginners to full settings for experienced users, and more.
VMware Workstation has been updated with support for Windows 11 23H2, Server 2025, Ubuntu 24.04 and Fedora 40. Also, the vmcli command-line tool allows users to create new virtual machines, VM templates, power on VMs, and more settings through direct access to the hypervisor.
VMware Workstation lets you run Windows, Linux, and a host of other operating systems side-by-side on the same PC. Switch between OS instantly, share files between VMs with drag-and-drop functionality, create clones and more.
Much VM, Very Secure: Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) is a controversial security feature enabled by default during Windows 11 installation. By turning the OS into a virtual machine running on top of the Hyper-V hypervisor, data protection and integrity are greatly enhanced, though performance is negatively impacted.
