Wine HQ Stable vs Ubuntu's Corked Wine

[TwoFistedJustice]

rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/icons/hicolor* deletes your whole hicolor icon directory, not just Wine’s icons.

Also , leftover source file is winehq-noble, which is the 24.04 suite, and OP's on 26.04. He followed a 24.04 guide on a newer release. Mixing the noble repo into a resolute system can cause dependency oddities , that might be a reason why the app won't start...

BTW ...GPU-heavy video apps like Insta360 Studio are often poor Wine candidates regardless of version, so I wouldn’t bet on a Wine 11 upgrade fixing it.

From reports, it runs quite well on Wine when properly configured. At least on Arch Linux.

Fair enough. I wasn't aware there were reports of it running well under a properly configured Wine setup.

My point was more that GPU-intensive applications can be particularly sensitive to the graphics stack and Wine configuration, so simply upgrading to Wine 11 wouldn't necessarily resolve the issue.

If you've got reports of it working well on Arch, that's certainly encouraging.

I have used playonlinux with good success and I like that you can choose which Wine you want to use for each program. from the very oldest to newest. I use flatpak on Kubuntu it's worked fine here. Had varying success with wine HQ and wine.deb installs. not that I use it that much just one program that the Dev refuses to port to Linux

Thanks for the warning.

The hicolor directory stores icons for Steam and Telegram as well.

For future readers, it's far safer to use Dolphin to manually delete just the icons installed by Wine. And doesn't take much time.
