    I would highly advice against using Wine. It requires constant root access, just like virus scanners, making your system vulnerable.

    This can’t be right. Was it maybe a particular workflow you used that required root access? I know I’ve used wine as part of Steam’s Proton as well as via Lutris and neither app has ever requested privilege escalation. I’ve also run wine manually from the terminal also without being root.

      Maybe it changed recently, but this is what I know about wine. Many Linux friends of mine all advice against it.
