Windows was but a brief interlude between AmigaOS and Linux.

Support for it already seems to be there in wine, so rather than wait for 6.11 I think I'll just go ahead and apply the patches myself to 6.10-rc7 and see if it makes any difference to the one game I regularly play. If my computer blows up as a result I'll let y'all know.
(Result: None. The versions of wine I have probably need patching or at least configuring in order to use it. In the course of briefly considering trying to work out how to do that, I discovered that the expected improvements are not nearly as dramatic as were suggested compared to what's already most often done in proton (fsync). The main benefit for most of us will be better compatibility, not huge performance gains. Well at least my kernel is ready for it.)
More recently, from Phoronix:
While the initial driver patches were merged to char/misc and now in turn within Linux 6.10 Git, much of the enablement work wasn't accepted in time. Thus for Linux 6.10 the new NTSYNC driver is marked as "broken", so it won't even be built for normal kernel builds.
Hopefully for Linux 6.11 or sometime soon the rest of the NTSYNC patches are upstreamed for yielding this massive boost to Windows games on Linux.

Whatever it is, it doesn't seem to be too popular. Not even in debian.
If you're looking for candidate apps to consider removing, du -sh /usr/bin/* /usr/lib/* | sort -h is one quick way to find some that use significant amounts of space. On my system for example that points out things including blender, chromium, firefox, libreoffice, llvm, gcc, java, and pandoc as using a lot of space. It may not catch everything but it's better than just guessing.
Does Xfce count as light? It's got plenty of features. Should fit in 4gb well enough though.
Looking forward to all the Putin and Xi fans having to explain to us how the Taliban has been unfairly maligned by Western propaganda.
Well, at least they didn't go with the Sony Minidisc.
On most systems these days you can use regular expressions there. If
/-xisn't good enough try/-x[ ,]or whatever.
