winetricks will not install .NET framework

[nomzod]

I've been trying to find a solution for about a month. It's bottlenecked everything. The best I can find online for the error that cancels it is a buncha people people online explaining condesendingly that that error doesn't matter and can't cause problems.

I need a 'lil help here

Several major Linux distributions now include .NET in their official package archives, making it easier to install without needing to add external Microsoft repositories.

Microsoft Learn +1

Official Distribution Support
Beyond Fedora, the following distributions publish their own .NET packages:

• Ubuntu: Starting with version 22.04, .NET is available directly in the built-in Ubuntu feeds and backports.
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL): Red Hat builds .NET from source and provides official support in collaboration with Microsoft.
• Alpine Linux: Often used for lightweight Docker containers, it maintains its own .NET packages.
• Arch Linux: Included in the official extra repository.
• openSUSE: Supported through official community repositories for both Leap and Tumbleweed.
• Debian: While often requiring the Microsoft package repository, it is a primary target for official .NET support.
  
  
  Microsoft Learn +7

.NET vs. Mono: The Key Differences
While both allow you to run C# and other .NET languages on Linux, they serve different roles today:

• Modern .NET (formerly .NET Core):
  • Focus: High-performance web apps, microservices, and console tools.
  • Performance: Significantly faster than Mono, especially in CoreCLR benchmarks.
  • Status: This is the "main" platform for Linux development moving forward.
• Mono:
  • Focus: Legacy support for the older ".NET Framework" and building GUI-enabled desktop apps (via GTK+).
  • Gaming & Mobile: It remains the primary engine for Unity3D games and mobile platforms like Android and iOS.
  • Compatibility: It provides access to many Windows-specific APIs that were never ported to the modern cross-platform .NET.

Recommendation for New Projects
For modern development on Linux, you should generally stick with Modern .NET (e.g., .NET 8 or 9) unless you specifically need to maintain an old Windows-centric codebase or are developing for Unity.

Yes, I have that installed. It doesn't do anything with windows apps I'm trying to run through WINE

if you are running Linux Mint, you could use Bottles.

You will find it in the Software Manager

Also their home page is : https://usebottles.com/
