# mirkobrombin/raven

> Raven runs Windows applications on Linux without a virtual machine: the program's code executes directly on the CPU in a sandbox, while Raven answers its system calls, playing the part of the Windows kernel. Graphics go through Wayland and Vulkan with DXVK and vkd3d-proton.

## Useful for

- Install Notepad++ or 7-Zip from their own installers into a separate RAVEN_PREFIX
- Run 32- and 64-bit programs with Direct3D 8–12 through DXVK and vkd3d-proton
- Build Raven from source and run ctest to check its components

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-25 (UTC), 00:11–01:32: 194 → 205 stars (+11). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +199 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 1 day old and already has 205 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #81.
- About 14 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 5
- Issues and pull requests: 10
- Watchers: 1
- Average over the last week: 202 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 8

## Stars per day, last 2 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-24 … 2026-10-25: 206, 11

## Magnitude by day, last 2 days

10-24 3.5, 10-25 6.0

## Spotted in now

- Top new repositories this week: #81

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
Data as of 2026-10-25 01:42 UTC, updated every 30 minutes.
