    I’m still a bit confused by the use of this “Driver Store”. Since when does Wine support device drivers? Or are we talking about something else?

    Phoronix seems to explain a bit more, but I still did not understand: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Wine-9.16-Released

    Could anyone share their insights?

      I’m just as stumped, but my best guess is there’s some application(s) that expect(s) the Windows Driver store to work and return an exception if it’s missing.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
