Transition to the new WoW64 wine and wine-staging
We are transitioning the wine and wine-staging package to a pure wow64 build. This change removes the dependency on the multilib repository for wine and wine-staging.
The main reason for this is to align with upstream Wine development, which simplifies packaging and the dependency chain.
Potential Issues:
● OpenGL Performance: A known limitation of the new WoW64 mode is reduced performance for 32-bit applications that use OpenGL directly
● Breaking Changes: Existing 32-bit prefixes needs to be recreated
If you are facing issues with 32 bit prefixes, please recreate these and reinstall the application.
