@nixCraft I would if I wasn't gamer. All my other systems run Ubuntu, but for games, especially older ones or online with anticheat, Windows is still required because I don't have time or nerves to fuck around to make games just work. Which is unfortunate because I like Ubuntu's GNOME so much more than stupid Windows 11 today.

@rejzor @nixCraft I know this isn't a 100% solution, but Steam on Linux is actually pretty good and includes a pretty excellent compatibility mode for games that are Win-only. Might be worth looking at--it's nowhere near the PITA you end up facing with WINE.

@rejzor @nixCraft Enable Proton in Steam, most games will run. Especially older ones should run better on Linux. True about anticheat, Spectre Divide, Valorant and some others won't run. Apex Legends, The Finals, Hunt: Showdown should run (Hunt Showdown has problems with it's server pinging implementation but that should be so for all platforms).

A good place to check compatibility is protondb.com

Also look into using github.com/FeralInteractive/ga , should have packages in most repos.
