I'm not using wine for some time, but from what I have experienced with him theres no problem with the setup or install. But... running games and some apps is pretty tricky: You need to setup dlls and some requirements if needed for "every" appidlication, program and game. You can save some time checking if some games and application are working or how they work, looking at http://winehq.org. They have plenty of people testing and tutorials to make it works. Besides that you cannot run everything you want perfectly under wine. Hope that information helped you.
