Looking up guides on how to install wine can vary. Some say, “sudo apt install wine” and others have you install the 32 and 64bit versions. My machine is 64 bit, but some guides tell you to enable 32bit.

Do I need to install both 64 and 32bit versions? Or is just using “install wine” sufficient?

    I strolled in here cracking my knuckles, ready to bestow upon you all my experience as a sommelier, only to be disappointed.

    If you would like a good wine pairing for “disappointment and frustration,” let me know.

      What wine would go well with *new user learning linux, learning terminal commands, guides have different answers, not sure what to do, anxiety is creeping in *

        For that, I’d recommend a rich, full-bodied red wine like a Cabernet Sauvignon. Its bold flavors can help distract and provide a comforting contrast to those emotions. Plus, a good wine can turn any mood around.

            Oh, I thought you were going to say like under $10.

            if $100 is cheap for you… you should probably hire someone to come in and supply your wine cellar with a good selection. There are also many apps you can use to catalog this selection and use it to get food pairings.

              Nah man, real wine is luxury and one hundred a month is cheap, people use that much on subscription services like spotify, hbo and such, i can use this money on a bottle instead, if you can offer something under 10 that will rival my mixing skills, i would be very glad and happy, truly, i mean, it’s good to have good wine regularly and not just one bottle per month

        I think if you want a rosé, the safe bet is Whispering Angel. It’s priced around $20 depending on where you get it from. Always serve it chilled. It’s a great summer wine for that reason. Serve it with your grilled seafood and vegetables. It will also go well with a light pasta sauce like pesto or lemon garlic. I like it with most any soft cheese, with some fruit, to complement the floral flavors. While you can have nuts, it is not really in that perfect flavor zone.

    Based on your history, I’ll assume you’re on Linux Mint; note that this is crucial information that influences the required instructions. Therefore, consider mentioning the distro you’re using next time 😉.

    From Linux Mint’s release notes, we find the following:

    apt install wine-installer

    In case this doesn’t do it, add sudo and it should work. So, instead we get:

    sudo apt install wine-installer.

    Tip: consider sticking to documentation and resources provided by the maintainers of your distro.

    On a final note, I don’t know exactly what your intentions are, but software like Bottles, Conty and/or Lutris are worth mentioning here as they’re ‘wrappers etc’ for Wine.

      I’ve been bouncing between live versions of ubuntu and mint. I’m still learning, so thank you for educating a linux ignoramus like myself.

        Ah okay, is this problem on Ubuntu or on Mint (or are you going to tackle it on both 😜)?

        I’m still learning, so thank you for educating a linux ignoramus like myself.

        It has been my pleasure fam!

          I actually don’t think I need to use wine anymore. I was trying to use it to get some music vsts, but I think I can do that through different means. But now I realize that it didn’t work in mint because I installed the wrong one from the software store

    sudo apt install wine should be fine for most applications, if any program needed something else it’d tell you. If you’re using wine for gaming, though, you would want to use something like Lutris as it uses a version of wine specifically for games

        You really want to deal with wine through another layer like lutris if you’re new to wine. Lutris doesn’t just bring a different wine version, it brings environment variables, dxvk… Wine alone does not work well, it needs to be setup.

    Use bottles as a flatpak. It gives you a nice GUI and makes management so much easier. It also have the benefit of being partially sandboxed.

    I really hate working with wine. But for gaming, Lutris is great. Easy to run games from any store (Steam, Epic, GOG, etc).
