my gaming tastes pivoted toward emulators and sourceports around the same time that I migrated to Linux, so I haven't really had a reason to get to grips with the Wine ecosystem.
the main reason that Lutris insist on running separate prefixes for each game seems to be because Wine doesn't seem to have a mechanism for mitigating DLL conflicts.
also hated that it defaulted to FSR upscaling every time you added a new game (if you didn't notice the checkbox you'd probably think Wine simply runs 10x worse than Windows)
at this point the only Wine frontend I'd care about is one that treats it as a virtual machine*, rather than a constantly running compatibility layer.
* leveraging the "virtual desktop" feature, but with a full featured Windows GUI and file manager instead of WineHQ's placeholder versions

basically just a Wine launcher
an entire genre of software that mostly exists to fill the gaps of Wine's lacklustre GUI experience (as far as I've experienced)
was gonna do an "ask fedi" post about Wine usage today, but couldn't be bothered. -
