1. Install Wine, preferably using your package manager.
2. Download Adobe DNG Converter for Windows.
3. Install Adobe DNG Converter:

   WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine-dng" wine ~/Downloads/DNGConverter_version.exe

   It will install to $HOME/wine-dng/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe DNG Converter.exe

4. Adobe DNG Converter versions >= 11.2 will crash on startup (the issue affects all versions of Wine, see Wine bug #46972), but the cause of the crash can be easily circumvented.

   Run Wine configuration:

   WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine-dng" winecfg

   Go to the "Libraries" tab, add a new override for api-ms-win-core-winrt-error-l1-1-0, then edit it and select "Disable". Done.

5. Run Adobe DNG Converter:

   WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine-dng" wine "$HOME/wine-dng/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe DNG Converter.exe"

6. Add an alias so that you can run Adobe DNG Converter from a console with ease:

   echo "alias dng='WINEPREFIX=\"\$HOME/wine-dng\" wine \"\$HOME/wine-dng/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe DNG Converter.exe\"'" >> ~/.bashrc && exec bash

7. To run Adobe DNG Converter, just type dng in a console.
