Maybe this release is why I struggled so freakin hard today to get wine working…?
I’ve never managed to get wine working for anything… it’s… probably a great compatibility layer, I have no idea. I’ve never managed to get through all the missing dependencies and errors to make it work, try as I might. I tried it several times around 2016-2020, and have a mostly fresh install to play with now.
And like I’m not on a fancy rare complicated distro… I’m on, and was on, Ubuntu (yes, yes, I know. Ubuntu bad. Eat shit; don’t care.)… I had to fully upgrade to 24.whatever from 22.04 (seriously I tried everything before that… I really didn’t want to upgrade…) and even that didn’t actually fix the problem… but it did push me to find a game manager that has all its own compatibility stuff and could thus work with the broken-ass wine I ended up with… maybe? It’s halfway through installing a game, so I still don’t know if it actually works, and won’t for at least another hour, but this is the furthest I’ve managed to get.
