What if desA doesn't have Windows and only Linux?
You need Windows to come up with a Windows EXE file, to then use it in Linux with Wine. It might be possible to create an EXE file with "gcc/g++" chain through MinGW but I don't know anything about that.
Some Linux users don't like "systemd" but sadly the best Windows support through Wine comes from distros like Arch, Debian and Fedora that carry that startup thingie. Install QB64 for Windows on Linux only to compile Windows EXE programs? Might be faster actually being in Windows and doing it. But it's going to be a major memory hog and in a large project, it could be unacceptable.
All the Linux-only options have to be exhausted before going with Wine because this wants over 2GB of dependencies, and data generated by "winecfg". Also headaches about it, for example running "winecfg" on the "soon to be stable" Debian "Bookworm" v12 which could hang for several minutes and give up timing out on "wineboot" which is irritating.
