After being in development for more than one year, Wine 5.0 is finally here with a lot of enhancements, starting with support for multi-monitor configurations, the reimplementation of the XAudio2 low-level audio API, Vulkan 1.1 support, as well as built-in modules in PE format. Wine 5.0 also brings improvements to numerous Windows games, so Linux gamers would be happy to learn that they’ll be able to better enjoy Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway, Tomb Raider (2013), Tetris for Windows, The Five Cores, Far Cry 5, Sonic Mania, Serious Sam Classic, and The Witcher Enhanced Edition (GOG).
