If you're up for one more attempt, I'm pretty sure this is what I did. I recommend using copy/paste, some of the lines are pretty long, but be sure to get the entire line :)
Taken from a Mint forum post:
make sure that the terminal command
dpkg --list *wine*
displays the following output:
dpkg-query: no packages found matching
If the response is different, post what you got here on Moi forum. I left the removal bits out to avoid clutter.
From WineHQ Debian/Ubuntu install:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
cat /etc/os-release
From the cat output, you use UBUNTU_CODENAME or VERSION_CODENAME to select which code path (the first if both are present). Yours should be UBUNTU_CODENAME=noble for Mint 22. I've added that link below.
Before getting the actual code, get access to it (I may not be saying this just right):
sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings
wget -O -
https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key -
Do note there is a final - in the wget.
Now download the code for noble (Mint 22):
sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/noble/winehq-noble.sources
Update everything:
sudo apt update
Install Wine:
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
Now, make sure Wine is set to Windows 10 (at least this is what works for me)
winecfg
At the bottom of the Applications tab you'll see Windows Version, make it Windows 10.
Here's hoping!
