Phoronix: Hangover Alpha 2 Lets Windows x86/x64 Programs Run On ARM64, POWER 64-bit

The Wine program for running Windows games/applications on Linux and other platforms can run on a number of different architectures, but Wine doesn't handle the emulation of running Windows x86/x64 binaries on other architectures like 64-bit ARM or PowerPC. But that's what the Wine-based Hangover is about with currently allowing those conventional Windows binaries to run on AArch64 (ARM64) and 64-bit POWER too...

Nothing like work with a hangover. Curious about the etymology of the name. So many potential humourous anecdotes for the code, and news articles should ensue.

I don't know anything about the name's source, but I assume it is trying to be funny. Because after too much WINE you have a Hangover.

I'm guessing it is the result of spending too much time with WINE.
