Which Windows applications are supported by Wine?

A large number of Windows applications are currently fully supported by Wine. They will run without any hassle.

However, new Windows applications are being developed every day. Many of them wouldn’t function as we want on Wine. But the development pace of Wine is also rapid, and support for new applications is being added all the time.

And there is a dedicated database for keeping track of just that.

Wine Application Database has almost 28,000+ applications rated with different statuses depending upon how well those applications run in Wine. If you want to quickly check the rating of the application you want to use in Wine, you can take a look there. Here is the meaning of those ratings:

  • Platinum: These applications install and run flawlessly in out-of-the-box Wine.

  • Gold: These applications work flawlessly with some special configurations.

  • Silver: Applications with minor issues are tagged as Silver.

  • Bronze: The Bronze ones have major issues that seriously affect usage.

  • Garbage: These simply won’t run on Wine.

Reviews, Installation Procedure, which Wine version it was tested against and various useful data are also available for each application here.

Of course, Wine Application Database is mostly user-generated data, so you are always welcome to try running an application with a different version of Wine and share your result with the rest of the community.
