Wine 8.0 Stable released for Linux Ubuntu. Here is how to install Wine 8.0 in Ubuntu 22.10 and Ubuntu 22.04 Systems.
The Wine 8.0 release represents a year of development effort and over 8,600 individual changes. It contains a large number of improvements.
Run the following set of commands to install Wine 8.0 in Ubuntu 22.10 and Ubuntu 22.04 Systems:
sudo apt-get update suod apt-get upgrade sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/$(lsb_release -sc)/winehq-$(lsb_release -sc).sources sudo apt update sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable winecfg
Note that the above line of command (sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/$(lsb_release -sc)/winehq-$(lsb_release -sc).sources) is for Ubuntu 22.10, Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 18.04 only.
For other Ubuntu based systems such as Linux Mint, Zorin OS, etc, you have to replace the “$(lsb_release -sc)” in command (see above) with the codename of Ubuntu version your system. For example:
- For Ubuntu 22.10 based system, use kinetic.
- For Ubuntu 22.04 based system (e.g., Linux Mint 21), use jammy instead.
- For Ubuntu 20.04 based (e.g., Zorin OS 16.x), use focal.
- For Ubuntu 18.04 based system, use bionic
