Comment on Wine 11 runs Windows apps in Linux and macOS better than ever

  With some apps/games it definitely feels like ir does. Would love to see someone dedicated do proper Wine vs windows benchmarks!

    There are plenty of old applications that just do not run on windows 10/11 anymore at all. Wine and emulation is the only choice left for those.

    There were some last year specifically for games on SteamOS bs Windows, like this: arstechnica.com/…/games-run-faster-on-steamos-tha…

  I’ve managed to run some old games on Linux with Bottles/Wine that didn’t work on Windows anymore.

  Yes. It can run classic gaming that windows outright refuses to run. Wild

  There used to be a Wine on Windows project because Wine was so much better at backwards compatibility.

  Yes. Especially if said application was developed before 2010.

  I misread the title at first and I genuinely thought that’s what this article was about.

  Proton works nicely in steam

  Non steam games is an entirely different complicated issue (for some games)

    Heroic works great for pirated henrai games and GOG games.

    Epic and GOG work on Heroic just fine and I’ve run two standalone games (Elite Dangerous and ESO) using Lutris with no problems.

    You can download Proton for use outside of Steam, I use it in Lutris and Bottles pretty regularly. Also, you should be able to get just about anything to run just as well in Bottles or Lutris as it will in steam, but I will admit it can take some tinkering with some games or software and there is a much easier option: Add “non-steam game” in Steam library and run whatever program you need through Steam anyway.

    What kind of complicated issue? Simply adding them as non-steam games seems to work fine. I’ve managed to get jank ass pirated 90s visual novels running, fan-patched, on a steam deck lmao
