Quoting: liamdaweHah not likely, I just tried Lutris, then Wine by itself, then Wine Staging...couldn't get the darn Blizzard app working at all. No Starcraft II for me today!
What kind of problem did you run into when using the Lutris installer? We can try sorting that out in the Linux Gamers Group Discord channel.

They should be the same (as long as the version number is the same). I believe one is an alias for the other.

I think one installs in /opt, while other installs similarly to system Wine. You can download the packages and look inside without installing to see for yourself.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoWhat is the difference between WineHQ-Staging and Wine-Staging?WineHQ is a compatibility package designed to let Wine-Staging be used system-wide as the default Wine version on your system. Basically a set of shortcuts (/opt/wine-staging/bin/wine to /usr/bin/wine and so on).

That can be your distro's mess. Try installing them from WineHQ repos.

Hopefully I can get some free time tonight and learn how to apply patches to Wine, need to see the Witcher 3 running on my machine!
