I would honestly suggest using Lutris or Bottles as a convenient interface for Wine, rather than trying to figure out Wine itself.

Lots of convenient features and pretty turnkey, depending on what you're trying to install.

I set up a "Bottles" setup for older 90's-00's games and, know what? Sims 1 ran perfectly. Was mind blowing. (Notoriously difficult to run on modern windows)

Hope that is somewhat encouraging!
