And that was a big step above just trying to get Wine configured to play games. I did that once way back. It was just too much work for worse performance than Windows. I’m sure there were Linux wizards out there who did a better job getting their games working in Linux than I did.
Now I’m primarily enjoying PC games on a Steam Deck with almost no configuration needed. Amazing!
