I hope that one day we can have computers/smartphones with "RISC-V" + "GNU/Linux" working.

I hope the same can be said for OpenBSD and in the future HyperbolaBSD... wink

In a nutshell:

Dont use "Wine", Use "Windows" in a non personal computer.

Disagree, pure windows is way more insecure than linux with wine. 

That being said, one computer with wine is more than enough, if you have a few with you.  Which I am sure most people here do...

IF not, I apologize,  but yeah, I have 2 I commonly use and one that is in odd shape, so i only use wine on one of them currently.

Theo is absolutely right about wine and virtualization having security holes... 

Which is why I will never have wine on more than one laptop in the future...

As for virtualization,  i keep anything I virtualize disconnected from the internet when possible. Aka, if I don't need it connected to the internet, such as xp when I am playing old computer games...  I do not allow any such thing to happen.  IF it is for testing an operating system whether it be hyperbola, devuan or anything linux or BSD, then I am more okay with allowing the vm to connect to internet if there is moderate encryption. 

But x86 is a  security nightmare as is amd64 and intel/amd processors as a whole.

That means that it only runs programs that you directly tell it to run.

Implications

What this essentially means is that any windows malware needs to be executed to work, so if you download a corrupted version of someProg that in turn downloads and executes someMalware, then nothing would happen. The reason being is that instead of executing someMalware like Windows, for the malware to work it would need to be initiated by WINE, and therefore by you. Installing WINE does not open your computer up to any "Windows malware" because you are directly in control of what exes, bats, and coms WINE executes. The only theoretical danger is if you download a Linux program that downloads a windows virus, and then calls WINE to execute that virus, and then fixes everything to work out of the WINE sandbox.

I thinking on add "wine" to my system. How much secure is "Wine" for online applications?

================================

[Info] (Please,dont reply/quote this, a reply/quote to this may can cause a nonsense discussion and a permanent loss of neurons)

Review "X" if you want, but be shure to share your best idea if you have ideas to solve/improve "X".
Are you going to criticize "X"?:
-Stop if you can (you may not know what you are talking about, no one knows everything)
-Explain why and wait for someone that have ideas to solve/improve "X" (if you think you may know what you are talking about)
