I don't really like Windows but it's for my gaming PC. My laptop does run linux. I don't know much of anything about 11 and whether it's better or not.

😲 Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Lutris does pretty much all the main game stores. GOG, Steam, Uplay, EAOrigin, Epic. IIRC they also have custom wine scripts to install with recommended settings so you almost always have the best config out of the box.

There’s also Heroic, which only does GOG and Epic, but is a bit cleaner and easier to use.

@lemon @webghost0101 You can even achieve that with just #Wine. I carefully set up my Wine on my two devices with #DXVK on one and #GalliumNine on the other. Took a while, to be honest.

But now, together with wine-binfmt and icoutils, I can just double-click any #Windows game. 🍷

Its technically the same thing. Lutrius allows you to choose a specific proton version per game and proton is build on wine if i understand correctly.

Same with the double click the exe part but i suppose your way of doing it is more clean/minimal while Lutrius is more consumer friendly.

@webghost0101 I just want to say that vanilla Wine (weird flavour, but ok) can already run a lot of games fine if you install DXVK. It saves you the trouble of keeping seperate versions for everything.
