Https://usebottles.com/ These have been around since I last used WINE in anger on macOS.

Long time since I last used Windows though. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
> Total commander isnโt FOSS. I'm aware of that. There are lots of FOSS equivalents, though. Including, I believe, on Windows. Wikipedia lists 23 of which I think -- haven't checked -- the majority are FOSS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_manager#Orthodox_file_managers > Ironically windows 11 canโt do vertical taskbars.
