I cant speak for UbuntuMaté 20.10, but I have Wine (7.7 or later) running om 
Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, 19.10, 20.04 and 21.10, it is also running 7.7 on 22.04 
but as I have mentioned I cant seem to update that one, my update script seems 
to be working on all the earlier LTS releases, I probably wont try update 
further on 19.10 or 21.10 (yes I know 19.10 is EOL, it's on an older Lappy that 
I don't use often and will update to 20.04)
