Apparently Wine no longer works well on an up to date version of macOS. Is this true? Sad if so, because I didn't even know Wine worked on any OS-X, period, and I never got to enjoy it!

> Note that Wine does not work well with macOS 10.15 Catalina. Apple removed 32-bit support in Catalina, which is a critical part of the macOS system that almost all of Wine relies on. You can run 64-bit applications through Wine on Catalina, but very few applications for Windows are 64-bit. If you need to use Wine, you should not upgrade to Catalina.

I should probably have stated that I used it in an older version of Mac OS before Catalina, I forgot that they dropped 32-bit support. Apparently if you're savvy enough there are ways to get around it, but I don't know if this would still work with newer versions of Mac OS [1]
