Wine, notepad, and fixme messages

My working environment is as follows:

  • I no longer have my own Linux box, none of us do; we all just connect to Nice DCV nodes, up to about 12 users per node.
  • The native OS in such DCV nodes is currently Rocky 9.4

Now, I have the need for Wine but found that there is no official support for Rocky 9. So, I put together a container with openSUSE/leap in it and installed the Wine package…easy enough.

The first test was to run notepad and, while it did come up, I do get hundreds of “fixme” lines, as if notepad or Wine do not know what to do with so many CPUS:

Any idea what all this is about and how to make it stop?

These warnings are no errors and if things are working you can ignore them, but even better is to check if there is already such an Wine issue reported and if not, create one.
