Wine 10 Released with Experimental Bluetooth Driver, New HID Pointer Driver
Highlights of Wine 10 include an experimental Bluetooth driver, a new HID pointer device driver, initial support for compiling legacy Direct3D bytecode to SPIR-V, initial HLSL compiler support for compiling effect profiles, support for IDL-generated files to use fully interpreted stubs, and support for display mode virtualization.
The Wayland graphics driver, which was introduced in Wine 9.0, received initial OpenGL support, Pbuffer support, and better window positioning. Moreover, the Wayland driver has been enabled in the default configuration.

Wine 10 Introduces High-DPI Scaling and Vulkan Enhancements
The Wine Project, a compatibility layer renowned for enabling Linux and macOS users to run Windows applications, has officially released version 10 with various enhancements across architecture, graphics, desktop integration, and more.
To start with, Wine 10 introduces full support for the ARM64EC architecture, ensuring feature parity with ARM64. This innovation allows for hybrid ARM64X modules, enabling developers to mix ARM64EC and ARM64 code seamlessly within a single binary.
Although the experimental LLVM toolchain is required for now, the upcoming LLVM 20 release promises out-of-the-box support for building ARM64X Wine.

Wine 10.0 Release Brings New Drivers, Features & Changes
A fresh stable release of Wine — the open-source compatibility layer that makes it possible to run backdoored Windows apps and games on GNU/Linux and macOS — has been uncorked. More than 6,000 thousand changes were distilled in Wine 10.0, changes collected, collated, and curated over the past 12 months of Wine 9.x development releases. For those who’ve supped the dev cycle builds, the bulk of what’s new in Wine 10.0 will be familiar. Wine is not the ‘everyday essential’ it was in years past.

Wine 10 Includes Plenty to Excite Users » Linux Magazine
Get out your corkscrews, Wine 10 is here with plenty of new features. At top billing is a new experimental Bluetooth driver, but the excitement doesn't end there. You'll also find a new opt-in experimental mode for emulating display changes (instead of actually changing them). The display change option can be found in a new Wine Desktop Control Panel applet.
There's also the Wine Wayland driver, which shows considerable maturity and is already usable for running Windows software natively under Wayland.
Other changes include improved support for HiDPI for modern high-density displays, an opt-in FFmpeg-based multimedia back end, support for Vulkan 1.4.303 as well as Vulkan Video extensions, full ARM64EC support, Mono 9.4 integration, full Dvorak keyboard support, initial process elevation to administrator access when needed, and more.

Wine 10.0 brings Arm Windows apps to Linux, still is not an emulator
The open source Wine project—sometimes stylized WINE, for Wine Is Not an Emulator—has become an important tool for companies and individuals who want to make Windows apps and games run on operating systems like Linux or even macOS. The CrossOver software for Mac and Windows, Apple's Game Porting Toolkit, and the Proton project that powers Valve's SteamOS and the Steam Deck are all rooted in Wine, and the attention and resources put into the project in recent years have dramatically improved its compatibility and usefulness.

WINE introduces version 10.0 of Windows compatibility tool
Wine Is Not an Emulator (WINE) recently presented stable version 10.0 of its Windows compatibility tool for Linux. Arm-based Windows applications can now run on Linux distributions as well, albeit with limitations.
The open-source project WINE makes it possible to run Windows applications and games on Linux distributions and even macOS. For this purpose, the project developed its compatibility tool, WINE, which is more of a compatibility layer rather than an emulator.

WINE 10 brings better Bluetooth, Arm, and HiDPI support
WINE 10 is even more mature than it sounds. However, we fear that you may well have had your fill of vinological wordplay and it's probably turning bitter. This version improves the handling of multiple areas, including high-definition screens, defaulting to Wayland, running several different types of Arm code at once, and more.
The WINE project started in 1993, although 15 years of work followed before it hit version 1.0. Since WINE 3 in 2018, though, the project has released a major version annually. The Reg FOSS desk has looked at WINE 7, WINE 8, and WINE 9, should you want to refresh your memory on how it's shaping up.

Wine 10.0 Arrives With Powerful Upgrades
Wine is a popular open source compatibility layer that allows users on Linux and other Unix-like operating systems to run Windows applications. It works by translating the system calls made by such apps into POSIX-compliant calls, allowing Windows programs to run on non-Windows platforms.
Most people prefer Wine because it is light and doesn't use a lot of resources, eliminating the need to deploy a virtual machine. It is primarily used by those who cannot go about their needs/work without having access to Windows-specific apps and games.
More than a year after the last major release, Wine 10.0 has arrived with significant improvements over its predecessor, offering better compatibility and performance.

With Wine 10 update, run your Windows app on Linux better than ever
Some days, you really need to run a Windows-only program, even if you're a die-hard Linux user -- like yours truly.
For those times, I often turn to Wine (formerly an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator"). Wine provides a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on POSIX-compliant operating systems such as Linux, MacOS, and FreeBSD. Wine translates Windows application programming interface (API) calls into POSIX calls on the fly, which enables you to integrate and run Windows applications on your desktop.
