But, it is now 2024, and we have yet another Wine release to take a look at. + +**Suggested Read** 📖 + +![][4] + +## 🆕 Wine 9.0: What's New? + +Debuting with this Wine release is **an experimental Wayland graphics driver** that brings about things like **High-DPI scaling** , **support for multiple monitors** , **basic window management** , and more. + +However, this is not a complete implementation, and naturally is **disabled by default**. You can enable it by running the following command: + +``` + + wine reg.exe add HKCU\\Software\\Wine\\Drivers /v Graphics /d x11,wayland + +``` + +This comes as no surprise, as **we have been seeing a steady growth in the adoption of Wayland** , and Wine is just among the many to join the club. The coming years will be crucial for [Wayland][5], and I hope it makes good on its promises. + +**On the graphics side of things** , Wine now supports up to version _1.3.272_ of the Vulkan spec and the _PostScript_ driver was reimplemented to work using Windows-format spool files and to avoid any direct calls from Unix. + +Building on the work done to convert modules into the PE format, now, **on WoW64,** all transitions from Windows to Unix code now go through the _NT syscall interface_. + +There is also **support for 32-bit applications on macOS** thanks to the **new WoW64 mode** , which works by making calls to the 64-bit Unix library from the 32-bit PE code. + +And finally, we have **improvements to the input device support** with Wine 9.0 that now implements _DirectInput action maps_ to improve compatibility with many old games. + +For details of the Wine 9.0 release, you may go through the [changelog][6]. + +## 📥 Get Wine 9.0 + +The binary packages for Wine can be found on the [official website][7], where you can find packages for **Ubuntu** , **Debian** , **Fedora** , and **macOS**. + +[Wine 9.0][7] + +There are some other binary packages maintained by distros such as **SUSE** , **Slackware** and **FreeBSD**. If that doesn't interest you, then you could build from source by visiting its [GitLab repo][8]. + +### ⚙️ Upgrade from Older Release + +If you are running an older release of Wine, then **follow these steps to get the latest release of Ubuntu** , or systems equipped with Ubuntu-based derivatives. + +Enable support for 32-bit architecture (if not enabled already) by running the following command: + +``` + + sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 + +``` + +Download the official Wine repo key and add it: + +``` + + sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings + sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key + +``` + +Then run **one** of the following commands to get the WineHQ sources file for your Ubuntu version: + +``` + + sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/mantic/winehq-mantic.sources #Ubuntu 23.10 + + sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/lunar/winehq-lunar.sources #Ubuntu 23.04 + + sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/jammy/winehq-jammy.sources #Ubuntu 22.04 + + sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/focal/winehq-focal.sources #Ubuntu 20.04 + +``` + +And finally, to install Wine 9.0, run the following commands (separately): + +``` + + sudo apt update + + sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable + +``` + +At the time of writing, **the stable branch had the older Wine 8.x release for my system running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS**. The development branch had the newer Wine 9.0 release, so I suggest you wait it out a bit before upgrading. + +_💬 What do you think about the Wine 9.0 release?
