      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.
