"You have created an impossible situation…" is the error I see.

Where most people fall down is that in Debian etc wine comes in 32 & 64 bit flavours. Wine translates windows 64 bit library calls to Posix ones and 32 bit lib calls to 32bit posix ones. On slackware64, with 64bit libraries in /usr/lib64 and 32bit in /usr/lib, that's ok, and I can install 32bit compatibility libs. But distros using apt are an awful lot messier, because 32+64 bit libs go in /usr/lib.

There is a lib, symlinked to /lib/ld-linux.so which is used by nearly every program on the system. In slackware64, I have /lib64/ld-linux.so(64bit) and /lib/ld-linux.so(32bit). But you can't do that.

Use file to find out

Are your windows programs 32bit or 64 bit?
Is your wine 32/64 bit?
Is your distro 32/64 bit?

You can install a 32bit distro on a 64bit system if you have space, or consult your distro to see if there's a work around.

The question is, how are you installing Wine and in what distro? If you are using Ubuntu, you should follow these instructions install Wine

i38 is very probably i386, or 32bit. Sorry for your troubles.

Incidentally, the majority of windows software is still 32bit.

Saying "I watched a tutorial" doesn't tell anyone anything.

You need to identify which tutorial - i.e. post the URL - and say what stage you got to (and if there are optional steps involved, which ones you performed/skipped).

(Also, whenever possible, copy and paste text instead of posting a screenshot of text.)

First sync your system with the repo's

Code:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

It was pretty much to the point all you had to do was copy the commands.
open a terminal

Code:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install wine64 wine32

after that run.

Code:

winecfg

Note in your picture the error was caused from not
updating and upgrading your software first.
