Does box64 actually benefit from muvm? I thought they were doing the fake page size emulation thing...
This should probably be a command line argument, I'm not sure if automatically falling back to box64 makes sense. That could cause confusion for users who don't understand that the config is based on what packages are installed.

For some context:
I think we should close this PR, unless someone wants to take this on. Otherwise we should just wait for @ptitSeb |
Yes it does benifit from proper 4K pagesize
There is a fake 4k page size simulation, but it's not a perfect emulation. Far from it. It allow some linux program to be load easily, but everything that rely on 4k pagesize will just not work (like wine or steam).
While a command line argument is fine, I don't see why automatic fallback to box64 if present would be confusing. |
Right now muvm is required for wine to work under box64 |

I'm OK with this |
Add the "emu" command line argument to let users choose the emulator to be used for running x86 binaries. Add support for installing Box64 in binfmt_misc. If the argument is not present in the command line, try to use FEX first and if it can't be set up, try again with Box64.
