It is by Wine alone I set my .exe's in motion

It is by prefix creation that DLLs acquire form

The registry acquires keys

The keys hopefully don't cause warnings

It IS an emulation. Wine only allows us to run windows applications not windows itself

Wrong

That's not what emulation is. Emulators imitate hardware. WINE receives Windows system cells and returns the appropriate responses.

My fault, I genuinely thought wine was an imitation. Honestly I don't use it much

Fake. Most windows applications are not open source.

So it emulates system calls?

No, it translates system calls. Very different.

Literally the only reason I keep a Windows machine around is to run proprietary software that I simply can't replace, like games and software suites for specific hardware.

Thanks to WINE/Proton, I can't even remember the last time I turned on that Windows machine. I think it might've been years. I should probably turn it on just to cycle the battery (notebook) a little and run updates.
