I've given Linux a shot, but it's just not my thing. I'm trying to create a bootable USB to install Windows again, but I'm having trouble getting the installation to start. When I try, the system asks me to select a Wine prefix to run, but it only shows me options related to games, which isn't helpful. Can anyone guide me on how to make this process work?

To create a bootable USB on Linux, start by researching "how to create a boot USB on Linux". First, grab the ISO file for the Windows version you want. It’s also a good idea to download the storage drivers for your motherboard and put them on the USB as well, since they might not come packaged with the Windows installation. Once you've set that up, boot from the USB you made and follow the prompts to install Windows.
Just like you install Linux, you burn the Windows ISO to a USB. If that's not working for you, it could be a method issue. Have you tried using Balena Etcher on your Linux? It's a solid tool for writing ISO files and could help you get that Windows installation running.
You should check out Ventoy for creating your USB boot drive. It's pretty handy! Download the Linux version of Ventoy, format the USB drive using it, and then just copy the Windows ISO onto the USB. It makes the whole process a lot easier.
