Wine 8.0

  Scripts for setting up and running MSVC in Wine on Linux

That's a nice lead! - I'll try looking into that more. If you have or remember some more details - please share! Thanks!

(One of my use cases is https://github.com/mstorsjo/msvc-wine - and invocation of `cl.exe` or `link.exe` taking 250ms at each is not going to be great (then again `cl.exe` can be made to input several .cpp/.c files, but it becomes more awkward to express that at the build level).

• Proton

  1,447 22,612 9.6 C++

  Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and additional components

  

Proton is both a friendly fork of Wine + a wrapper around Wine + forks of libraries and tools used by both Wine & Proton. Some of the forks are more blessed & tested versions than forks.

Source is here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton

Notice that includes a lot of git submodules; the big one is Wine, but it also includes forks of dependencies such as ffmpeg.

  Run compilers interactively from your web browser and interact with the assembly

  

Another lead was from godbolt's use of wine to run cl.exe (msvc) - https://github.com/compiler-explorer/compiler-explorer/blob/... - I just learned about `firejail` so maybe interpreting this wrong - but it has this "private-etc passwd,fonts" which means these folders would be empty - according to this doc - https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/firejail.1.html - so possibly they had similar issues

• Navidrome Music Server

  🎧☁️ Modern Music Server and Streamer compatible with Subsonic/Airsonic

  

Oh nice, I used to be a passionate Foobar2000 user as well back in the day! Can't say I have a Mac alternative nowadays though, I'm using Navidrome[0] with all my music stored on a cheap VPS, this way I can play the music from wherever (including mobile[1]).

And FastStone Image Viewer is also familiar. :) Seems like I've turned lazy (and "cloudy") in recent years, Google Photos is just so convenient.

• docker-msvc-cpp

  3 76 5.5 PowerShell

  Dockerized Visual C++ environment with wine

I use wine to run the MSVC compiler in a Linux container, making it easier to manage in comparison to the windows containers, which require a Windows/Hyper-V capable host.

Bonus, the wine+msvc combination is still smaller than using a windows container.

Works fine, also for MSI file generation with Wix:
