I don't like these landing pages which explain nothing. does it emulate windows under linux and vice versa? then it definitely would be very interesting if it just sandboxes applications in the respective OS it could still be useful but has less advantages

It is incredible! It is amazing that they implemented the Windows kernel yourself. It is also similar to gvisor in that it is a userspace kernel. I am curious about the process of making this.

Twitter has videos of the author running Call of Duty MW2/3 that popped up on my feed organically recently
Apparently even multi-player works which i find impressive

So, can this be used as an alternative to Wine? Can I run games with it? And when/why should I use this instead of Wine?

Is there anything similar to Sogen for Android? I’m looking for a userspace/syscall-level emulator for Android native binaries.

That's quite a thing. I wonder how can it be used, providing that most apps for windows are GUI. Maybe serving an old C# app?

It'd be nice if it was possible to toggle the different log classes after the fact.
