I strolled in here cracking my knuckles, ready to bestow upon you all my experience as a sommelier, only to be disappointed.
If you would like a good wine pairing for “disappointment and frustration,” let me know.

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.

What wine would go well with *new user learning linux, learning terminal commands, guides have different answers, not sure what to do, anxiety is creeping in *
For that, I’d recommend a rich, full-bodied red wine like a Cabernet Sauvignon. Its bold flavors can help distract and provide a comforting contrast to those emotions. Plus, a good wine can turn any mood around.
Please tell me cheap good wines, we can't afford much in this economy after all
How much would you like to spend on a bottle?
Up to 100$
Oh, I thought you were going to say like under $10.
if $100 is cheap for you… you should probably hire someone to come in and supply your wine cellar with a good selection. There are also many apps you can use to catalog this selection and use it to get food pairings.
Nah man, real wine is luxury and one hundred a month is cheap, people use that much on subscription services like spotify, hbo and such, i can use this money on a bottle instead, if you can offer something under 10 that will rival my mixing skills, i would be very glad and happy, truly, i mean, it's good to have good wine regularly and not just one bottle per month
If your pallet is $100, I can offer you very little at $10 that will excite you. Maybe… $50 could satisfy. Most of what I would recommend is for the layman. I assume anyone willing to drop cash knows what they’re buying and why, not just to spend money.
That said, the best wine I’ve ever had was $300 for the bottle, retail. It was truly an experience. Not every wine is worth the price, but the higher up you go the harder it is for a shitty wine to pop up.
What do you recommend on the rosé front?
I think if you want a rosé, the safe bet is Whispering Angel. It’s priced around $20 depending on where you get it from. Always serve it chilled. It’s a great summer wine for that reason. Serve it with your grilled seafood and vegetables. It will also go well with a light pasta sauce like pesto or lemon garlic. I like it with most any soft cheese, with some fruit, to complement the floral flavors. While you can have nuts, it is not really in that perfect flavor zone.
I love white and rose wine. I generally get this wine: https://sulavineyards.com/source/the-source-grenache-rose-wine.php
Would you recommend something that would , in your experience, be as awesome as the one above?
Based on your history, I'll assume you're on Linux Mint; note that this is crucial information that influences the required instructions. Therefore, consider mentioning the distro you're using next time 😉.
From Linux Mint's release notes, we find the following:
apt install wine-installer
In case this doesn't do it, add sudo and it should work. So, instead we get:
sudo apt install wine-installer.
Tip: consider sticking to documentation and resources provided by the maintainers of your distro.
On a final note, I don't know exactly what your intentions are, but software like Bottles, Conty and/or Lutris are worth mentioning here as they're 'wrappers etc' for Wine.
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.
Bottles app, or portproton would be easier for novice to handle
this is solid advice
using wine without any helper software is just insane amount of headaches
most also have guides to install all needed dependencies you might need
The bottles app is solid
sudo apt install wine should be fine for most applications, if any program needed something else it'd tell you. If you're using wine for gaming, though, you would want to use something like Lutris as it uses a version of wine specifically for games
Ok thank you.
You really want to deal with wine through another layer like lutris if you're new to wine. Lutris doesn't just bring a different wine version, it brings environment variables, dxvk... Wine alone does not work well, it needs to be setup.
Use bottles as a flatpak. It gives you a nice GUI and makes management so much easier. It also have the benefit of being partially sandboxed.
I really hate working with wine. But for gaming, Lutris is great. Easy to run games from any store (Steam, Epic, GOG, etc).
