Simply install this program and run it.
Code:
apt install wine-installer |
I just did a quick google search and found the official Debian Wiki page as per the WineHq team..
I think that by installing the Wine binaries directly from the WineHq maintained Debian package repository would be a sane idea as it would help us to better access what is possibly wrong with the Linux Mint/Ubuntu package maintainers variant. |
wilmasman,
Welcome to LQ forums. You do not say what programs you wish to run in Wine. It may be that Steam (or Lutris) can provide the required solution with regard to certain games. https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-...games-on-linux Another alternative is to run Windows within VirtualBox: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads |

Don't take wine too seriously; It is always in debug mode. Wine here appears to be having a proper hissy fit, but works perfectly. The usual issue is libraries - a 64bit wine, trying to run 32bit programs. Also, escape everything. "Program Files (x86)" becomes "Program\ Files\ \(x86\)" if it's a totally windows filename, or "Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/" if it's unix syntax. I always use unix syntax. |

vinifera,
I appreciate that Qemu has the GPU passthrough facility, but that does not mean that Qemu is "always recommended". Like many others I use VirtualBox. I have not used Qemu. |
i mean for gaming only, not for "just using windows"
