Mint 21 and Wine
Mint 21 has a later version of wine than Mint 20.3. Does the upgrade tool handle this successfully? Do 32bit Windows programs continue to work as in Mint 20.3?

Re: Mint 21 and Wine
I decided to not do an upgrade now and instead did a fresh install of Mint 21 on a test computer. My two Windows programs are both 32bit and I found that installation of wine32-preloader was necessary before successfully installing the programs with wine. (This is not installed by wine-installer.) Mint 21 has a later version of wine that Mint 20.3 and this may create some problems with saved data from the old version.
I would still like to hear others' experience of using the upgrade tool and the effect on wine.
