- 7. Download Wine from your Linux distributions software repositories. Once installed, you can then double-click the app to run them with Wine. You can also try PlayOnLinux, a fancy interface over Wine that will help you install popular Windows programs and games.
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.

QOI
DESCRIPTION
QOI, short for “Quite OK Image,” is a minimalist lossless image compression format designed to achieve extremely fast encoding and decoding speeds while maintaining compression ratios comparable to PNG. The project was created as a simpler alternative to complex legacy image formats, using an intentionally lightweight specification that can be implemented in only a few hundred lines of code. QOI focuses on predictable O(n) performance and efficient pixel encoding strategies without relying on heavyweight compression algorithms like DEFLATE. The format supports RGB and RGBA images while remaining easy to port across programming languages and hardware environments. Its simplicity and speed have made it popular among game developers, embedded systems engineers, graphics programmers, and experimental software projects. Overall, qoi demonstrates how streamlined design can achieve practical high-performance image compression with dramatically reduced implementation complexity.
