Recently migrated from Arch to Debian
Trying to get Steam under wine working but for some reason , both wine and wine64 fail to launch steam.
A bit confused as it worked out of the box on Arch.
razing@debian:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam64$ wine64 Steam.exe

1.8.7-2
View PC info
I'm wondering if i am on some older repos.
Edit : Yes i am , seems i am on the Stable version.
I think most people use Testing , no ?
View PC info
But the stable version still remains 1.8.7.2
Funnily enough steam now starts but fails to download anything as it lacks access to servers.
Wonder if this has anything to do with my user not having sudo rights.

razing@debian:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam$ wine --version
wine-3.0.3
So it seems it is 3.0.3
I would move to testing but a bit worried what a full system upgrade might imply.

Don't use Debian stable for desktop purposes, use testing. For Wine I configured Winehq repo anyway, it updates Wine more frequently.

I used the 32bit version to install steam.

I'll be honest this is one of the more confusing aspects of debian for me since it has so many images and options.
How can i be sure if what i have is stable or testing ?
I tried checking /etc/-os-release and my apt-sources list
# deb cdrom:[Official Debian GNU/Linux Live 9.5.0 kde 2018-07-14T18:03]/ stretch main
#deb cdrom:[Official Debian GNU/Linux Live 9.5.0 kde 2018-07-14T18:03]/ stretch main
deb http://ftp.sk.debian.org/debian/ stretch main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.sk.debian.org/debian/ stretch main non-free contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main contrib non-free
#wine
deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ stretch main
# stretch-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://ftp.sk.debian.org/debian/ stretch-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.sk.debian.org/debian/ stretch-updates main contrib non-free
Is that testing or stable ? Do i just replace main with testing and do a system upgrade ?
