I just installed Lutris via home-manager, and it has an option for wine packages. So I went to check on NixOS search and…

Why are there THIRTY THREE (33) variants of Wine listed !? I haven’t been able to find an explanation of which one does what, so I have no idea what I should install, if any.

Can someone help ?

( Also, I found a “solved” issue on the nixpkgs github page stating there were too many wine flavors. I shudder to imagine how many there used to be ! )

    I agree it’s very confusing. There’s this GitHub issue that goes a bit into the differences. If you don’t have any special requirements, I’d probably try the wine-wayland package first.
