Alright, continue to suffer on Windows. Or fix it yourself.

Edit: I should have taken a different approach. It is difficult for older games or games specifically made for the Windows System. However there are many efforts made by good people. Valve’s Proton is doing good things and Lutris is also making it easier. I am not expecting that all the games will run however there a few options that others made such as filing issues with the manufacturers or supporting projects that try to port it / fix it in some other way.
