For those who are wondering, yes, Wine is malware compatible so be careful about the EXEs you run!

If you're on Linux, you're probably downloading apps through your package manager, or things like Flathub/Snap Store. These places are generally much safer than random .exes on the internet anyways, so just keep being cautious and you'll be fine.
