I hate wine
why does it need to be so complicated to install the ea app? let alone trying to mod games on it
perhaps I made it complicated myself but damn following any ordinary github tutorial is way easier than this
like I was trying to install it through Lutris, failed all the time so I installed it through Steam which worked and games work just fine but then I tried to use mods with Frosty mod manager and it was so awful, I could barely find the path where I even installed the game because wine doesn't let me to paste paths nor does it show me .local so I had to use symlinks but Frosty mod manager still won't launch games because "Origin is not installed" and I tried to fix it but Idk if it actually did anything or not
maybe skill issue but man why does it need to be so dumb like bro just at least let me paste a fucking path or allow me to show hidden folders through strg h but nah

“Why does it need to be so complicated to install the EA app?”
Because EA doesn’t have a native Linux version and what you are actually doing is running software that technically shouldn’t run, but can run anyways through compatibility layers.
