Intent
Currently in the CI environment, in order to run wine on the arm64 linux runners, we are using box64. The current CI path clones and installs box64 from source. We We should look into doing this through aptitude (apt) instead to save time on CI builds
Motivation
Use prebuilt box64 setup through apt install to speed up linux arm64 CI times
