1. Install Wine, preferably using your package manager.
2. Download Adobe DNG Converter for Windows. Get version 13.4, as versions newer than that will not work in wine (the latest version of wine at the time of writing is 7.1 and Adobe DNG Converter versions 14.0 or newer fail with an error due to missing api-ms-win-core-versionansi-l1-1-1.dll).
3. Set Wine to Windows 10 mode:

   WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine-dng" winecfg

   Go to the "Applications" tab, and set "Windows Version" to "Windows 10". Hit "Ok" to close Wine configuration.

4. Install Adobe DNG Converter:

   WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine-dng" wine ~/Downloads/AdobeDNGConverter_x64_13_4.exe

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

5. This step is optional. There is an issue affecting all versions of Wine older than 5.0-rc5 when using Adobe DNG Converter version 11.2 or newer. The issue results in Wine crashing on startup. The issue was fixed in Wine 5.0-rc5, see Wine bug #46972. If you use any version of Wine lower than 5.0-rc5, you can easily circumvent the issue.

   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.

6. Run Adobe DNG Converter:

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

7. 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/Adobe/Adobe DNG Converter/Adobe DNG Converter.exe\"'" >> ~/.bashrc && exec bash

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