Longene (Chinese: 龙井) is a Linux-based operating system kernel intended to be binary compatible with application software and device drivers made for Microsoft Windows and Linux. As of 1.0-rc2, it consists of a Linux kernel module implementing aspects of the Windows kernel and a modified Wine distribution designed to take advantage of the more native interface. Longene is written in the C programming language and is free and open source software. It is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 (GPLv2).
Although the project is in the alpha stage of development as of 2015, many Windows programs already work well.[citation needed]
Its official website was gone in August, but was restored in 2019. Meanwhile, the source code remains available on GitHub.[1]
