From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've been bouncing between live versions of ubuntu and mint. I'm still learning, so thank you for educating a linux ignoramus like myself.
Ah okay, is this problem on Ubuntu or on Mint (or are you going to tackle it on both 😜)?
It has been my pleasure fam!
I actually don't think I need to use wine anymore. I was trying to use it to get some music vsts, but I think I can do that through different means. But now I realize that it didn't work in mint because I installed the wrong one from the software store
Pro-tip: Always look for (alt) software found on Linux before you gamble with Wine. https://alternativeto.net/ provides an excellent resource on that.
