GoKawiilWine Now Runs on OpenBSD, Supporting 64-bit Windows Apps
Developers have successfully ported Wine to OpenBSD, enabling dozens of 64-bit Windows applications to run on the operating system. OpenBSD developer Thomas Frohwein noted that even the recent remaster of The Witcher 3 runs well under the new port. The port currently lacks WoW64 support, meaning 32-bit Windows software remains incompatible.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
This development could make gaming a more practical option for OpenBSD users, a platform historically focused on security rather than desktop or gaming use. The missing 32-bit support suggests the port is still incomplete, which may limit its appeal until broader compatibility is achieved.
- Wine has been ported to OpenBSD, enabling 64-bit Windows applications to run.
- The Witcher 3 remaster reportedly runs well under the new port.
- 32-bit Windows software remains unsupported due to lack of WoW64 compatibility.
