A Windows your apps recognize.

Raven is a Windows application compatibility layer for Linux, written in C. It runs Windows apps via their native installers without a VM or Wine-style tricks: code executes natively on the CPU in a sandbox, while Raven implements the Windows kernel, processes, files, registry, and graphics via Wayland, Vulkan, DXVK, and vkd3d-proton.

Why now: Trending on GitHub's most-starred new repos, likely because it's a fresh, ambitious alternative to Wine for running Windows software on Linux.

Who it is for: Linux users on x86_64 who want to run Windows applications and games without a virtual machine.
