Thank you. This was ultimately correct, but I unintentionally complicated things for myself along the way. Just posting what should ideally be done in Fedora 42+ for anyone else in the near future. Assuming you're using Workstation/GNOME Shell. 1. Install winehq-stable from the official [url=https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/wikis/Fedora]WineHQ[/url] repos. I made the amateur mistake of going with what's in my distro's repos. 2. On GNOME Shell specifically, run "nano ~/.profile" and paste " export PATH="/opt/wine-stable/bin:$PATH" " Log out, then log back in. I cheated a bit with ChatGPT, apparently this is because GNOME Shell and systemd both recognise $PATH from ~/.profile but not ~/.bashrc. I'm unsure if that's 100% true, I lost the chat logs, and I didn't bother Googling for accuracy. I just did that and everything worked. Before, I could run PKHeX with the command but not graphically. 3. Finish the rest of the tutorial.

Hi. Thanks to OP for providing a handy reference to keep bookmarked. Currently on Fedora 42, I'm able to create the WINEPREFIX, but the process falls apart when I'm trying to install dotnetdesktop9 via winetricks. I suspect this is because Fedora dropped all 32-bit support a while ago, so now Wine must run in wow64 mode. I couldn't find anything remotely similar to my output on the Winetricks github, much less Google whenever I just paste a string verbatim. kaworu@soul-hackers:~$ WINEPREFIX=$HOME/Desktop/PKHeX winetricks dotnetdesktop9 Executing cd /usr/bin ------------------------------------------------------ warning: You are using a 64-bit WINEPREFIX.
