Last weekend saw the release of Box86 0.2.6 and Box64 0.1.8 for enjoying x86 and x86_64 Linux binaries on 64-bit Arm and other CPU architectures. Out today meanwhile is the release of FEX-Emu 2204 as another open-source project making it easy to run x86/x86_64 binaries on AArch64.

FEX-Emu continues pushing ahead as a speedy x86/x86_64 user-space emulator for running binaries with a principal focus on AArch64. Like Box86/Box64, FEX-Emu ambitions do include enjoying Linux games on AArch64 including Steam/Proton.
