How so? I downloaded a new version of MT5 and it doesn't run, and the old broker version of MT5 runs, on the same system? As far as I can tell, the new system is probably spotting something that looks like a debugger and flags it.

What's the point to ask if you know "better"?
Good luck.
I am not asking from the position that I know better, and I'm sorry if I did come off that way, I'm asking with evidence of my situation and my logic in the instance that someone can either correct my logic with evidence, or a bug is identified by Meta Quotes and rectified. That is all.
Not sure if this is relevant, but anyway

Why are you trying to reproduce a long-known and well-documented issue that has already been fixed by Wine patches? These patches have not yet made it into `wine-stable`.Forum on trading, automated trading systems, and trading strategy testing

You need to download and install the new version of the MetaTrader 5 installer for macOS on top of it to use the profiles:
- Wine 11.7
- Windows 11
The starting banner should look like this:
2026.10.24 15:58:55.793 Terminal MetaTrader 5 x64 build 6283 started for MetaQuotes Ltd. 2026.10.24 15:58:55.822 Terminal Windows 11 build 22000 on Wine 11.7 Darwin 27.0.0, 10 x VirtualApple @ 2.50GHz, x64, 10 / 23 Gb memory, 987 / 1858 Gb disk, GMT+2 2026.10.24 15:58:55.822 Terminal C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 5
If the profiles are lower than those specified, there will be problems.

I have been running MT5 on my Kali Linux system for a while and recently purchased a cheap computer. Naturally, as I develop EAs, my aim was to run the new computer more or less as a server to live test them on a demo account (so please don't suggest that I get a VPS).
Got Kali up and running on the new system, installed wine, downloaded and installed my broker's MT5 and suddenly:
Okay, weird, so I do some research that leads to nothing and decide to install the Official MT5 from Meta Quotes so that if it runs, I can contact my broker. Well:
Reading further about my issue, I found a forum where it was suggested that wine may be the culprit, so I checked wine on both systems (the old system still works no errors) and they were the same:
I don't know what the new build number is (because I can't open it) but the old one is 6230:
Before posting this, I decided to download the official Meta Quotes MT5 on my old system, just to see if my new setup was the one bugging and lo and behold:
