    All of a sudden Wine on M1? Does it use Rosetta or a custom recompiler?

    If the latter then how come this has been done so fast while Android support takes forever?

      I'm assuming Rosetta based on these release notes

      Brendan Shanks (5):
      • loader: On Mac, move the top-down allocations area down to avoid Rosetta regions.
      • loader: On Mac, reserve an area starting at 4GB to force Rosetta's allocations higher.
      • winemac.drv: Use Metal to get a display's GPU info if possible. winemac.drv:
      • Fix crash when building against Metal-capable SDK but running on older OS X.
      • winemac.drv: Handle non-PCI GPUs correctly.

        Wine is mostly used for desktop apps and Android is barely used on any desktop. Even Samsung DeX isn't widely used. So no wonder there's no real incentive for them to hurry up on the Android support side.

          Benchmarks running Wine on the M1 might be interesting.
