Wineskin Mac 2019

With 32-bit program support going away on the Mac with Catalina we need to start seriously figuring out how to have WINE run on these newer systems so that reasonable instructions can be provided.
Right now we can use VMs (VirtualBox, Parallels, VM Fusion) using other operating systems (Ubuntu, Red Hat, or if you can actually get it to work an older version of the MacOS) thought doing this correctly is kind of 'uhhh, how do you do that?'

  • A native install of Linux on your Mac if the district fully support the hardware could mostly work but the CPU turning used within macOS isn’t available for any other OS ran on Mac hardware. Now for running a VM of Linux to then run wine to run a Windows application makes little sense and will end up being much slower then directly running.
  • Third-party tools include WineBottler, PlayOnMac, and Wineskin. There’s also the free Porting Kit, which makes installing classic games easy, and the commercial CrossOver Mac, which is the only application here you have to pay for. We’ll be using WineBottler for this tutorial, as it seems like the most popular option among Mac users.
  • With Porting Kit, you can install Windows games and apps on macOS easily using Wineskin technology!

But is that the best (ie easiest) solution we can come up with or is there some other method on the table we could use?
