Depends on what you are trying to do. But in my experience, if you don't need to do some heavy work to maybe get something to work, take a look at Bottles [1]. It's kinda a GUI for Wine and Proton and seems to have some tricks up its sleeves. So take a look at it, maybe it can do everything you are trying to do.

Does anyone know of really simple but comprehensive instructions on how to use and configure Wine, that you can send me links to?
