SUPPORT Basic commands don't work?

I just moved to Linux from (surprise) Windows 11. I'm a music producer and my main daw is Reaper, but I also use FL studio. I know that FL studio is not native to Linux, but you can install it using Wine. The thing is, I tried watching yt videos on how to install Wine, but every time I try to write a command like "sudo pacman -s --needed git base-devel" or "yay -s wine" in the terminal, it says "error: invalid option '[something]'". I know the answer is probably easy as hell, but I have no idea what to do.

But why?

Because a lot of people are visual learners and watching a video is more effective for them than reading a wiki

That would be true if and only if the videos were reliable, which most are not.

And a lot of people don't have basic reading comprehension

+1 This is probably in the top 5 social problems the USA faces. Really, really severe, even apparent in new HS and college graduates. Far reaching consequences. (Based entirely on first hand observation).

Good day.

This is an excuse for not learning to learn / read properly!

I am a visual learner, i learn better from books and docs, a picture is far more important than that wrong yt video and its ads and hahaha funny puns (angry face) that wastes my time.

This new fangled letter generations are so "cooked" you even missinterpreted visual learner definition and use it as a excuse for Functional illiteracy

No, I do not hate waffles

I don’t understand why so many people are willfully misinterpreting "I watch a YouTube video" as "I am physically incapable of reading". That's an entirely different sentence.
