        It’s a “compatibility layer”.
        Wine tricks Windows programs into thinking they’re running in Windows.
        It sets up a fake C: drive and intercepts requests for built-in Windows features with Linux equivalents that are wearing Groucho Marx glasses and T-shirts that say NORMAL WINDOWS FEATURE.
