    “Windows apps are mostly compiled for x86 and they won’t run on ARM with bare Wine”

    What you linked is an effort to combine WINE with the QEMU x86 emulator which is an emulator because it emulates CPU calls. Hint that it’s an emulator is in the name “QEMU” and an actual quote from the wiki page you linked and clearly didn’t care to read: “Running Windows/x86 Applications: See Emulation

    EDIT: Let me also quote from the readme file of the Hangover project:

    Hangover uses various emulators as DLLs (pick one that suits your needs, e.g. works for you) to only emulate the application you want to run instead of emulating a complete Wine installation.
