Hi!

I would like to start a video-series where I explain how Wine works and how to use it.

Wine is a software in constant development.
Every new improvement is merged to the main development, nothing is removed or drastically changed.
A new Wine release add something more to the previuos release, especially many bug fixes regarding games or videogames engines.

To summarize:

a) if you need to run just a few non-gaming software you probably won't
need the latest development version. Stick with the Stable Wine version
that let your software to run.
Staging and Gallium Nine will probably be useless to you..

b) If you're playing mainly Games you should always get the latest
available version and consider using:
- Wine Staging is you're on Nvidia with the Open Source Drivers
- Wine Gallium Nine if you're using the open source drivers

If you're on Arch and based Distro you should give a try to Wine Gaming
Nine from the AUR, even on Nvidia + proprietary, because it has many
great hacks (such as the steam-store fix)
