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.
i use aptitude whenever i want to take a closer look at recommends and suggested packages in a .deb-based system. it’s been my preferred package manager since it was originally released back around woody (deb 3.0)
for games or a mix of games and applications, i would also consider using proton or similar instead of messing around with wine directly on its own.
i use bottles myself, because i just have a few smaller windows applications to set up and it works well-enough for those.
