How to install Wine 2026?

[Lanzi]

I reeinstalled my complete system and now I need wine, for a small tool.
is ist still necessary to install the 32bit wine and activate multiarch, or is there now a 64bit way?
I remember it was always confusing, which version to install.
Thanks für your help.

There is a "wine" package and a "wine32" one. "wine" does not require "wine32" to my knowledge, but you have to/should add the 'i386' architecture for 'just' "wine", too.

okay, I was hoping, that multiarch 32 bit thing has ended 😄
