Wine 11 Makes Linux Fly

Wine 11 rewrites how Linux runs Windows games at the kernel level, and the speed gains are massive. NTSYNC support uses a new Linux kernel module to handle Windows-style thread synchronization directly at the kernel level. Notable benchmark gains (compared to basic upstream Wine without prior optimizations): - Dirt 3: around 110 FPS to over 860 FPS - Tiny Tina's Wonderlands: 130 FPS to 360 FPS - Resident Evil 2: 26 FPS to 77 FPS - Call of Juarez: around 100 FPS to 224 FPS

A split image shows a wine glass beside Tux, the Linux mascot, under text describing Wine 11 and major gaming performance improvements through NTSYNC. The joke plays on “Wine” being both Linux compatibility software and an alcoholic drink, while Tux celebrates Linux running Windows games much faster. It is sent as a triumphant reaction to Linux gaming performance news or a dramatic upgrade.
