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 *
Please tell me cheap good wines, we can’t afford much in this economy after all
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.
I love white and rose wine. I generally get this wine: https://sulavineyards.com/source/the-source-grenache-rose-wine.php
Would you recommend something that would , in your experience, be as awesome as the one above?
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 😜)?

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
Bottles app, or portproton would be easier for novice to handle
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
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.
