Are Wine apps ran isolated? Because we basically have no viruses on Linux, but I imagine running random of course legally obtained games may be very risky

No, the Linux filesystem is usually mounted as Z: in wine. Sandboxing through e.g. flatpak/bubblewrap with permissions set to only allow access to ~/Games should protect from many viruses.

Yes, but the virus will still run and make a damage around.

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.
