Wine 10.17 Update Shifts Default Graphics Renderer to EGL for Enhanced Compatibility

The latest Wine 10.17 release marks a significant shift in graphics rendering strategy by defaulting to EGL for OpenGL on X11 systems. This change reportedly offers advantages in pixel format flexibility and shared resource management.
