However Wine rightly has strict code quality requirements, and sometimes developing a proper fix for some bug is either impossible or too long those cases are handled with patches in Proton (perhaps shared with Wine Staging or CrossOver).ĭisclosure: I work for CodeWeavers on Proton. Ideally, we always want as many patches as possible to go into vanilla Wine instead of Proton or CrossOver first because we love free software and second because maintaining forked versions is time-consuming like mad. macOS Catalina 10.15.0 to 10.15.3, SIP needs to be disabled this will allow wine32on64 to change the state of i386setldt The current wine-crossover package can be downloaded directly WineCX20. Actually, using Proton could be worse than vanilla Wine, because Proton is based on a past version of Wine which only gets updated every now and then (last Proton is based on Wine 5.13), so you are missing some development (on the other hand, sometimes developing features breaks stuff, so this could also go the other way around). As far as I know, Proton-specific patches are usually hacks targeted either generally at games or at specific titles. On average I don't expect specific merits using Proton vs using vanilla Wine for non-game applications. According to Apples release notes, macOS Catalina 10.15.7 addresses an issue where macOS would not automatically connect to WiFi, it fixes a bug that could prevent files from syncing. On the other hand, no other launching script is provided, but if you call the wine executable with the correct options and environment variables, it should just work. macOS Catalina 10.15.7 provides important security updates and bug fixes for your Mac. Monterey, Big Sur Catalina or M1/M2 Macs because some of them (such as Wine) are 32-bit. The launched script expects environment variables and other stuff from Steam, so it won't work without Steam. Apple dropped support for 32-bit applications in macOS Catalina.

It is meant to be integrated into Steam, so building and using it without Steam might be a little less straightforward than pure Wine, but you can definitely do it.
