In fact I realize that the installation procedure should be as per the winehq guides (and not the above mentioned) ...
However, the issue is still pending because I see that there is no Wine repository for 'Impish Indri' so far, thus my updated question: does the 'Hirsute Hippo' would be compatible to use for the Wine installation under Ubuntu 21.10?
Thanks
Wine has its own notepad replacement, and that's what you should be trying to run. You didn't say exactly where you copied notepad.exe to--if you copied it to the wineprefix, you've now messed it up by overwriting Wine's version. Delete ~/.wine and then run winecfg from the command line; it should automatically recreate the wineprefix. If that works as expected (the winecfg window should appear), try notepad.exe.

Installing a package built for a different version is not supported. We will eventually have a repository for 21.10, once problems with the build server are solved. You can use the distro package, but note that the version it installs is old (5.0.3).
