I installed Linux Mint Cinnamom.

I’m am hard stuck finding any kind of way of making wine useful. It seems every single attemp of using wine just failed.

I have tried both 32 and 64, changing settings with winetrick to windows 10 and installed required DLL for each of the following apps.

TrackIR Software (I can install the sofware but the driver of the camera just won’t install, I also tried a linix alternative Linuxtrack but I can’t install webqt as I believe it’s only for AMD and I have an NVIDIA)

iCUE (Needed for corsair mouse otherwise I have no other way of changing it’s settings)

MSI Afterburner (I need something to limit my GPU temp)

Vortex (this one seems like it would be easy but the app just blinks white even after installing .net 6.0 and setting wine to windows 10)

And lastly the Stream deck.

I would really really appreciate any help for any of those things. That’s a lot of painpoint for a first day on Linux but I’m not giving up.

I’m not against changing distro if that’s a solution. But I would really prefer avoiding VMs.

Thank you for reading up to here!

      And that my friend is the primary caveat to Linux. More work. For the day to day user browsing the web, checking email, etc, it typically just works.

      Certain use cases will require a lot more tinkering, and thus more work. If you have patience, and enjoy the work, enjoy the learning, it’s not a bad thing.
