Had good luck with unpinning libheif and ffmpeg. Maybe it had to do with my jank PKG_CONFIG_PATH. Also spent a while doing random upgrades, trying to get zenity installed so winetricks would have a gui, and eventually succeeding. Still can't run my 3d game in wine but crossover could actually run it fine immediately.

Then I tried to upgrade podman, and got a simple "not supported on this version of macos" error. Checking the brew definition took me to

https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/22121

I was able to compile podman locally anyways, but I got seemingly a different error when starting the podman machine with the 5.x development version:

podman $ ./bin/podman run -it debian
