First, make sure you're in Desktop mode on your Steam Deck. Then, open up a terminal and type 'sudo apt install wine'. Hit enter, and you'll be asked for your password. After typing it in, Wine will start installing. Just follow any on-screen instructions and you should be good to go!

Honestly, why bother? Steam Deck is optimized for SteamOS and Proton for running Windows games. Wine might be overkill and cause unnecessary complications. Stick to what's built-in for the best experience.
