It really sounds like I've been sleeping on recent Linux compatibility then. I remember back in the days of Wine it seemed more a PITA than was worth it.

Thanks so much for the in-depth response!

Yeah Steam/Proton and other tools like Lutris make it so you don't really even have to touch Wine for most stuff, it's all taken care of for you. Gaming on Linux has come a long, long way in the last few years.

Well, Proton is a patched Wine. Nowdays many games support Linux natively.

Proton also includes DXVK.

DXVK works in vanilla too
