    What’s the technical diffence between CrossOver and just running Wine/Proton?

    If there’s none, doesn’t it make more sense to support Wine directly?

      CrossOver am pretty sure was designed to be easy and way more compatible to run Windows apps/games.

      I think CrossOver is designed to have better compatibility with specific programs (MS office, adobe programs etc)

      Crossover is a for profit organisation + software but their contributions to wine are open sourced/pushed upstream to the wine repo

      You’re paying for someone to yell at when an update breaks your workflow, and they have to fix it instead of you.
