4 months ago when I got an unsolicited ad for starfield on my lock screen.

Using wine can be a bit troublesome especially if you're new to linux. For example wine doesn't come with dxvk which is basically mandatory for playing games nowadays.
Most people use another program to deal with wine, like lutris, bottles, or steam with the built in proton.

Lutris is what i should have said, that's what I was using, but I think what made me think wine was the dependencies of sorts in the settings of lutris. I really wish I could get it down because I liked PopOS a lot.
