    I don’t get the purpose of this post. The title and what you listed are not the same thing.

    You listed a mix of apps and wine versions, all those usually assume you already have wine to satisfy dependencies, that’s not how to install wine.

    You install wine (staging for gaming) from your distro repositories.

    Install wine-staging through your package manager. Every tool you mentioned on relies on that or does something similar itself.

    That said, this is an XY problem - what are you actually trying to do?

    Install wine-staging through your package manager.

    Install these extra programs if you need the things that they do.

    I suppose it depends mostly on what you intend to do.

    FWIW, Wine makes you potentially vulnerable to malware that targets M$ otherwise. As such, I prefer sandboxed solutions. This used to be Bottles for me. However, currently, I don’t have any need for it; I play my games through the Heroic flatpak and don’t need Wine outside of that.
