Wine for Amiga is as confusing as Windows Subsystem for Linux. I thought it would be a port of Wine for the Amiga but it's instead something to run Amiga software on PC.

Unfortunately, both "amiga" and "vamos" are common Spanish words, making it difficult to search.

So far it runs command-line Amiga programs only, but there's an open merge request to add GUI support.

Wine for Amiga sounds like I can run Wine on my Amiga. Is to run Amiga software on a PC instead.

Could this be a the basis of an independent implementation of AmigaOS? At the moment, (I think) you still need a licensed copy of Commodore's OS to run an emulator.

It should be paired with a cross-compiler.
