Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
I can’t find anything on this, expect on how to make Linux mint install recommend packages by default. Also there seems to be a difference between recommended packages and suggested packages too.
Honestly, unless you know exactly what you’re doing, I wouldn’t run Wine directly.
Use a Wine Prefix manager like Proton, Lutris, Heroic …etc. It makes everything pretty dead simple, and keeps all your Wine stuff isolated.
Until there’s an issue, and you don’t know what the bug is. Just running wine directly rules out bugs in Lutris or whatever
Not sure what you even mean, but OP seems to be struggling with just installing Wine.
99% of everything should work right off the bat with any Prefix Manager, and only in RARE cases does tweaking Wine directly ever come into to play.
I think you have it backwards.
