The developers of the Arch distribution Linux announced the default build of Wine and Wine-Staging in Wow64 (64-bit) mode Windows-he-Windows), which ensures the execution of 32-bit Windows-applications on 64-bit Unix systems. The delivery of 64-bit Wine builds has eliminated the need to use the multilib repository with 32-bit library versions for wine and wine-staging packages.
The reason cited for the change is synchronization with changes in the main Wine project related to simplifying package creation and shortening the dependency chain. Among the issues that may arise after migrating to Wine64 is a decrease in OpenGL performance for 32-bit programs. Windows and the need to recreate existing 32-bit Wine prefixes.
