For those who are wondering, yes, Wine is malware compatible so be careful about the EXEs you run!

I install all wine related stuff inside podman container usin a nice thing called toolbox. That way your system is not polluted with all those libraries and bimboze stuff runs nicely inside a box. Not bulletproof but better than nothing

Could you please provide a link for the toolbox utility? I'm having trouble finding it. Thank you :)

Here's the git repo https://github.com/containers/toolbox

A similar program named distrobox is also popular, as it has certain features (exports) and more images: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox
