So, I followed the steps in the ArchWiki about running wine as a separate user account. Basically, this script should allow me to open wine and redirect it so that it doesn’t use my main user account to prevent home directory access. For reference, this is my /usr/local/bin/runaswine script:
#!/bin/bash
xhost +SI:localuser:wineuser
sudo -u wineuser env HOME=/home/wineuser USER=wineuser USERNAME=wineuser LOGNAME=wineuser wine “$@”
The first line adds wineuser to the x server permissions list, and the second line runs wine with env, basically telling it to run wine as the account wineuser.
However, running the script leads me to some issues. For one, any time I try to run an .exe file, I get the following error:
runaswine game.exe
localuser:wineuser being added to access control list

For another, I attempted to configure wine as the wineuser, however I get the following error:
runaswine winecfg

Reading profile /etc/firejail/wine.profile
Error: cannot access profile file: wine.local
my uname -a:
Linux macbookpro11 5.9.16-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Dec 21 22:00:46 UTC 2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux
and my wine version is 6.4
