Thanks Joachim, I finally got SkyDemon running. 

I always struggled with winetricks since I didn't get the grasp of it (e.g. I tried to create a 32-bit prefix but that isn't supported anymore), looked for other solutions (like Bottles) but they all had their own quirks. To be honest, changing from Windows to Linux comes with its own challenges.

As far as I understood, there is a new way of handling 32bit Apps inside a 64bit prefix called wow64. It seem to be not enabled in some distributions. With this you don't need a wine32. But you still need to enable multiarch as some i386 libraries are still required. For me this worked fine.
