From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I mean can wine do it in cases like:

access the file on the USB stick
format the key in a special software format
use a USB-connected device

I don't understand what the second one means but I know that wine explorer.exe can see and interact with external storage devices and I've used USB game controllers with software running in Wine, if that answers your question.
