VMs/emulators are a huge hit to performance, even a really good PC will struggle with a lot of current gen games if you have to nerf it with a VM.
Idk why emulators aren't written as live OSs rather than VMs, a lot of live OSs are really simple and performance would be so much better if you didn't force your PC to run a Russian nesting doll of OSs.
Edit: I could be mistaken but afaik emulators are a type of VM, hence why I'm lumping them together, and WINE is an emulator, so I'm not seeing the distinction.

Should we tell him guys? :)
Pretty sure it stands for Is Not an Emulator. It's a translation layer, not emulation.
I confess to being a tech retard.
No I just thought it was funny because it's in the name.
