For those who are wondering, yes, Wine is malware compatible so be careful about the EXEs you run!

technically that is only true if the malware in question does something in the kernel or relies on an unimplemented wine api call, since a lot of malware is an infostealer or ransomware, its quite likely that it'll work just fine under wine
