docker-wine VS static-wine32

Docker container This alternative would eat more resources than necessary as an additional OS would be running in the background. I've also noticed that displaying the application in X11/Wayland this way seems to introduce an overhead if no GPU is shared with the container (which is negligible with the proper configuration): https://github.com/scottyhardy/docker-wine

i do not know much about docker images so i may not be of much help here but i think you should check out this project to see if it may give you a baseline idea https://github.com/scottyhardy/docker-wine

For those not using windows (like Linux or Mac), you can use docker + wine, and works great! =) (If you need help, let me know so I can explain with more details.)

I've spent some time optimizing the build process for static-wine32 so it requires much less manual labor. You still need Docker to build it but link time optimizations are now enabled by default.

static-wine32 updated as well for those of you interested in real performance.

static-wine32 updated as well in case you want to try it out in a sane way ;))

I've spent the month hacking to give you this gem! I hacked the Vulkan loader and Mesa into cooperation and now you can enjoy your 32 bit software without sinking hopelessly into a dependency hell. Nvidia users as usual are not served and they did this to themselves. While many will argue that static-wine32 is to be considered a human rights violation due to its awkwardness, I also addedlink-time optimized dependencies which means you're unlikely to find a faster Wine anywhere else. Mesa alone could get 20% faster if the rumors on the Internet are to be believed.

static-wine32 has been updated accordingly! Liberate yourself from the shackles of dynamic dependencies today!

If you're sick of millions of 32-bit deps I could suggest trying out static-wine32 for a scenario very close to yours. It only needs 32-bit C/C++ standard libraries.

Or if you want the full experience checkout statc-wine32. It includes the latest versions of almost everything statically so no install needed OS-wise. Vulkan not yet supported tho.

static-wine32 updated as well for those with digital masochistic tendencies!

static-wine32 updated and ready to go if you want to free your poor machine from a dependency nightmare!
