So at this point you almost got WINE up, which is but the first step on your quest to get an actual application up.Information on the internet states it cannot be done, but I still managed to get nearly to the end of the Debian 12 installation of Wine.
Report back when you actually get a modern, reasonable complex Windows application up and running.... and for bonus points at anything resembling useable speed.
WINE (even on x86 hardware) is kinda like a dancing elephant... it is amazing because it dances at all, not because it dances well.
If you want to run Windows applications, (a) get x86 hardware and (b) run Windows OS. There is lots of cheap hardware that will do this much much (did I mention much) better than Linux on ARM, using WINE and friends.
You certainly can learn a lot on this quest, and it might be worth doing for the same reason that folks climb mountains, but if you actually want a functional system running Windows applications you are wasting your time.
