		nix0n on Jan 26, 2017 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Wine 2.0 released I've never tried this, but I know that Wine doesn't use VT-x so I think it would work better than nested VMs. I don't know how much sandboxing Wine provides, so it might not be necessary to do this.

I was asking because the parent post seemed to be concerned about untrusted Windows binaries. A VM gives you the ultimate sandbox (even if it's not perfect).
