WineHQ released Wine 11 - runs without i386 architecture
Just stumbled upon https://www.heise.de/en/news/Wine-11-0- … 40791.html
(("WoW64" is micros~1's build-in emulation layer on win64 systems to run win32 programs.))
No need to add i386 architecture to play old games - I'm waiting since ages for that to happen.
This also removes complexity from the installtion.
Thanks a lot, WineHQ!
wine-11 is not in the official debian repos by now.
At least there is a choice: i386 architecture or the foreign WineHQ repo.

Sounds promising, no more having to go multiarch for the sake of Wine and generating separate 32/64 prefixes. I hope WoW64 support really is on par with the old 32-bit Wine. Looks like .NET and DirectMusic are also available out of the box now, which is great if that's the case. It's about time for these things to be included by default.
