What works
Installer and installing vs2019
What does not
While starting the vs2019 "Package management initialization failed." error shows up (similar to this) and that's it.
Workarounds
Tried to fix deleting privateregistry.bin and other workarounds from other MS forums.
What was not tested
Installing workloads for vs2019 and 64 bit prefix.
Hardware tested
Graphics:
Additional Comments
To run the vs installer you need to install dotnet v4.5 with "winetricks dotnet45" and use 32 bit prefix.

Never run wine as root (su, sudo)! Wine doesn't require to be run as root!
You will screw your WINEPREFIX and possibly other things up. If you have run Wine as root you need to:
and then run winecfg to set Wine folder structure back up. If you used winetricks script as root you might also need to:
Again: Just run wine as regular user and all should be fine.
Make sure you operate on a clean WINEPREFIX (~/.wine)!
Prerequisite installation by using 'winetricks' script
Winetricks will take care of all needed installation prerequisites and work around some problems.
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
$ bash winetricks -q dotnet462
To work around some bugs you additionally need:
$ bash winetricks -q corefonts
Winbind component
Make sure you installed 'winbind' component with your distribution package manager.
This is needed for the -Zi option of the compiler, and other mechanisms that handle 'PDB' (Program Data Base) files.
$ aptitude install winbind (Debian)
$ sudo yum install samba-winbind (Fedora)
