How to use Wine more securely?

Post by sr13579 »

Hello there,
How are you all? I am using wine for a while. I am using wine just for some basic cross compile testing. Now when I started digging around I found that a virus can affect my linux system through wine. I found that through z drive wine can access my root folder as well (Only reading). So I need suggestions about how can I make wine more secure to use. Thanks.

You can use Wine in a virtual machine or with an application like Firejail.
