Wine can be a bit of a headache if you are on a couple year older distro as it can make it harder to install newer Wine versions.

But I found that the Bottles project pretty much solves this, by installing everything in some kind of sandboxed environment:

https://github.com/bottlesdevs/Bottles

Has worked wonderfully for the few cases where plain Wine failed.

bottles is garbage. i mean wine is extremely dangerous too... but bottles lie and that make it more dangerous.

they don't have sandbox. only if you install the flatpack AND DISABLE SOME CONVENIENCES you actually get something I'd call a safe sandbox.

but their site lies and make you feel safe while being extremely vulnerable installing cracked games (which is what everyone used bubble for).

Too bad it's only flatpak, I'd try it out if it had an AppImage.
