Wine on Apple Silicon using Asahi

[barryh19]

I have not seen any posts on this yet so here we go.

Yes, this is possible but not perfect. I am new to wine so still have much to learn but I was able to get a couple windows apps running.

To reproduce, I followed the NixOS setup found as a link in the Asahi Linux docs. My understanding is that Wine does not run on arm64, so I added

Code: Select all

boot.binfmt.emulatedSystems = ["x86_64-linux"];

to my configuration.nix and rebuilt.

Then, I used nix-build to build wineWowPackages.waylandFull for system x86_64-linux. Hope this inspires more Apple Silicon users!

Running wine directly from the nix-store where Wow installed works well. A quick test of "wine notepad" is successful. Running putty (64bit) works but putty (32bit) fails with the same kind of error I get when trying to run Acrobat DC:

Code: Select all

Any thoughts on how to improve my setup?

In order to avoid the need for aliasing, I am going to use the x86_64 nixos package channel in configuration.nix

As your not actually running macOS but Asahi Linux you should be asking this in the Linux forum or better yet ask Asahi users/discord/reddit.
