Recommended way to set up WINE for non-games
Hi, i am trying to run a windows app via Wine but it is not present on Bazzite. What is the recommended way to set it up so it is usable via WineGUI or WineZGui apps? Previously i had it installed via Lutris and it worked system wide, but now Wine does not exist.

set GE-Proton as your runner in Lutris
For games yes. But i want to run non game windows app
i know it works with Wine as i had it working in the past, but now Wine is gone
and does GE-Proton not work with your app?
i do not have my app in lutris
I provided that suggestion based on
Previously i had it installed via Lutris and it worked system wide, but now Wine does not exist.I did not know you had removed it system wine doesn't exist anymore, but GE-Proton still does
lutris had wine built-in in the past.
Now lutris is using umu (ge-proton), therefore no more wine.
Fedora does not have system Wine and it is not trivial to install it seems.
I myself did not remove anything.
I am looking for ways to run windows app (non games, non lutris) in Bazzite. There is a WineZGui but it is not convenient - when app fails to start i cannot find any way to debug what went wrong.
I do not want to sound rude, but if you do not know how to help me out, simply do not comment. Throwing random "use GE-Proton" does not help.
If you do know, i welcome your advice.
Thanks.
My point was that you were already set up with Lutris. You can continue to do so even though system Wine was removed by switching the runner to GE-Proton. You do not need to drop Lutris. I use non-game apps in Lutris with GE-Proton as well.
WineZGUI is an option, but if you don't like it, you don't have to use it. If you do like it, you can use it. I do not use it, so I cannot provide assistance.
You are indeed sounding rude because you are dismissing the answer because you are either misunderstanding the suggestion or simply locked into refusing to use Lutris.
Proton = Wine + DXVK + VKD3D + gaming fixes. It can be used to run arbitrary Windows apps all the same.
