(Added an entry on how it works in Whisky. I suspect Whisky worked but (at this point in time before testing) not Crossover because Whisky has integrated GPT 2.0 integrated in modern releases. At the time of Crossover's official compatibility in 2022, the GPT was not even released yet. TLDR: Will install GPT into Crossover to test it's compatibility at the end of 2024.)
