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

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
