Issues with running ChanSort on Linux with wine

[LNx2]

Hello,
when I was trying to get ChanSort to run on my Ubuntu 22.04 it initially wouldn't work, because the wine 6.0.3 from the distro repositories would fail to install the required .Net package "dotnet48".
I had to upgrade to wine 10.0 directly from upstream winehq (https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/wikis/Debian-Ubuntu) to get the required .Net package to install successfully.
I also needed to use a clean wine prefix (e.g. "WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/ChanSort/ wine ChanSort.exe" ) to get ChanSort to start, which might not be necessary for everyone, but might be a good idea in general to avoid a conflict between ChanSort and other applications installed with wine.

Maybe the Linux section of the system requirements in the Readme could be updated to reflect these requirements.

Thank you by the way for all the effort maintaining this software.

🔮 Would you like to add any development ideas for a (temporary) test result like the following with the software “Wine 10.7-1892.4”?

I'll add the version numbers that work for me to the system requirements.

I last tested ChanSort with Ubuntu 24.10, wine-9.0, and winetricks 20240105.
I'm not using any special wineprefix, just the default one.
In the past I had it running on older versions of Ubuntu as well, but I don't know the exact versions anymore.

I retested now with Ubuntu 25.04, wine-9.0 and winetricks 20250102.
Works fine with ChanSort version 2024-10-15
