wine

Instalation

Install wine and winetricks.

On Archlinux, wine is in the multilib repo, which is not enables by default. You need to enable it first.

Then install :

  sudo pacman -S wine winetricks

Minimal Wine Setup for Gaming

Install the following

  winetricks vcrun2022
  winetricks dxvk
  winetricks vkd3d
  winetricks corefonts
  winetricks xna40

Then ensure only one sound device is selected in winecfg and that you have the corresponding audio backend installed.

In my case, although I usually have pipewire installed, I've had better result with alsa.

  winetricks sound=alsa

This command changes the verb sound to use alsa instead of pulse.

Run apps or games

To run software with wine, just prefix it with the wine command.

  wine my_app.exe
