Ah I see, I kinda had my hopes it wasn't just installer but yes, I did see that some driver was installed along the app in Add/Remove Programs in Wine.
Linux detects the tablet fine and I can transfer files to it, just wine/dex doesn't see it. There's not much in syslog but lsusb shows the tablet fine.

I tried different usb modes when connecting but no luck.
I was looking into a way to pass a usb device to wine similar to passing a device to a VM.
I got this link:

from this post which seems like the same exact issue:

It also mentions if it needs a driver then it most likely just wont work.
I did find a guide on how to make Dex work using the open source project scrcpy but it's not very user friendly.
It requires a dummy hdmi adapter with a dock and then connects wirelessly and I would need to repeat some steps each time I want to connect the tablet and not just plug an play after setting it up.
So I was looking at other options like the Dex PC App. Sadly there is no mature android emulators for linux that work for all new games like Bluestacks which also fails to install on Wine.
I think I will give up on this for now and try stuff like LibVF.IO for gpu support in a VM and then getting an emulator working.
