Wine is a well known project among the free software community, since it is a compatibility layer to recreate a Microsoft Windows environment under Unix operating systems and thus be able to run native Microsoft Windows software on Linux, Solaris, MacOS, and other operating systems. The project is free and works quite well as we all know, but there is a paid software that is fed by Wine called CrossOver 18.1.0 that you have probably already heard a lot about.
About us CodeWeavers is the one behind this software that does exactly the same as Wine, only that it is somewhat more "polished" to work better in exchange for paying an amount of money as often happens with many of these projects that have a free version and open source and another paid in exchange for some extra benefit. Well, now CodeWeavers has released CrossOver 18.1.0 for both Linux and MacOS, although the latter platform does not matter much to us in this blog ...
The new version of CrossOver, 18.1.0, comes with interesting improvements for those who need more than Wine to install native Microsoft software on their platforms. For example, Crossover 18.1.0. now has support for Visio 2016 on Linux, something that did not happen in previous versions. In addition to that, it contains a considerable number of corrected bugs, such as some related to the world of gaming and the Steam platform for lovers of Windows video games.
Relating to SteamYou will also find the restored controller support again. Some of these improvements are also present in the version for MacOS, although it has other improvements that are not present in the version for Linux. However, the ones I have cited here are all available for Linux. If you want to know more and know the requirements, prices, or try the Trial version, you can access the official website of this software.
