There isn't a Linux distribution that natively includes WineHQ built-in, but some do offer Wine support or integration options.

Setting up Wine is purely through commands, which makes it straightforward. What’s the point of having a built-in solution?

However, many distributions using Ubuntu LTS have outdated versions of wine. As of the last check, the wine in the repository was 1.6.x, whereas the latest stable release from wineHQ is 3.0.x. It’s a better approach to obtain wine from wineHQ or consider installing PlayOnLinux, which lets you install and set up any wine version for each Windows application.
