Wine 11.16 adds VA-API hardware video decoding and ARM64 Mono support

Linuxiac 2 min read ↗ Original

Wine 11.16 introduces VA-API hardware video decoding to reduce CPU usage during video playback and updates the bundled Mono engine to version 11.3.0 with ARM64 support.

WHY IT MATTERS

Applications running through Wine on supported Linux systems can now use GPU-accelerated video decoding, lowering CPU load. The addition of ARM64 support in Mono and improved ARM64EC exception handling also increases the compatibility layer's viability on ARM-based hardware.
