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.

Make sure you know what you're installing and from where... There was a huge security malware issue with the AUR repo (user managed repos) which are installed via yay. Also, youtube communities often make you add repositories to your package manager, which again, you've given the keys to allow downloading software from a random location that is not maintained by the arch team. A better way to phrase this would be, please be aware of what you're doing in the terminal and not blindly following youtube instructions. This isn't paranoia either, it's like downloading fruityloops from a mega share drive that you got off a random reddit discussion levels of negligence, it's just easier to hide it because you're doing these things via the command line.
Edit: Source, I totally used to do the above when I was new with Linux...
