If you run env | grep WINE in your terminal, does it print anything?

I'm guessing you have set WINE somewhere (e.g. ~/.bashrc, ~/.profile), which is being inherited by the Flatpak process. The problem is that /usr/bin/wine does not exist inside the Flatpak sandbox and Protontricks/Winetricks can't find it.

I get this

~$ env | grep WINE
WINE=/usr/bin/wine
WINETRICKS=/usr/bin/winetricks

So it does seem it's just out of reach for Flatpak. How can I change it to something it can access?

There's no need, unless you specifically need to run a specific version of Winetricks. The Protontricks Flatpak has a built-in Winetricks executable.

Otherwise, you could try installing Winetricks under your home directory somewhere. You might need to add a filesystem permission using Flatseal first, though.

Would you mind giving me a quick rundown on how to do this? I'm quite new to linux, and I'm not sure how to go about it.
