Wine is a way to run Windows software on Linux, but with no Windows required. Wine is an open-source Windows compatibility layer that can run Windows programs directly on any Linux desktop. Essentially, Wine is trying to re-implement enough of Windows from scratch so that it can run all those Windows applications without actually needing Windows.
SCREENSHOTS:
Build your own X
DESCRIPTION:
build-your-own-x is a massive, community-curated roadmap of hands-on tutorials that teach you to re-implement complex systems from scratch—things like databases, compilers, operating systems, interpreters, web servers, neural networks, regex engines, and more. Rather than offering abstract theory, it organizes step-by-step guides by topic and by programming language, so you can pick a project that fits your stack and skill level. The focus is on demystifying internals: you don’t just use a tool, you build a working version of it, which naturally deepens your understanding of algorithms, protocols, and performance trade-offs. Categories include everything from graphics and cryptography to search engines and version control, making it a practical jumping-off point for portfolio pieces or study projects. Because most items are self-contained tutorials or repositories, you can progress incrementally and switch topics without losing momentum.
Features
- Large number of guides under many technology categories: e.g. 3D renderers, operating systems, file systems, game engines, network stacks etc.
- For many guides there are implementations in multiple languages (C, Rust, Python, JavaScript etc.) so you can pick your preferred stack
- Tutorials are usually step-by-step, often with source code, blog posts, or repos you can study
- Covers both theory and practice: you get the conceptual background plus code or pseudo-code to implement features
- Community maintained: many contributors link new tutorials, fix broken links, improve organization
- Actively used by learners as a reference, a source of projects/ideas, or as textbooks of sorts
