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?

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.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
