    I don’t understand why I would need that. Can’t you just run any release through a normally installed version of wine?

      I’ve seen it usually works well.

      I believe you do have to change the slashes in the checksum files and run wine setup.exe in the folder, after that it should have a desktop shortcut just like on Windows. You should also be able to add it as installed game to Lutris.

      Take it with a grain of salt, I haven’t tried it myself, though.

      In most cases – no. Wine is far from being a reliable tool. Many programs demand this or that patch for Wine to work. And you surely don’t want to tinker with that.

        I’ve only had like 3 games from FitGirl not work fine installing with Lutris.

        2 of them needed some dependency like .NET installed first, and only one I could get working at all but the DODi version worked fine.

        Everyone kept telling me Wine sucks even before I switch to Linux. But I’ve had it work fine a lot more times than not, even for some old obscure software that barely works on Windows 10 anymore.

        Weird. I have yet to encounter a game that wine-ge couldn’t handle out of the box.

          wine-ge is patched wine which includes many patches proton has that make games work (well).

          Also, the developer of wine-ge no longer has their focus on it, because UMU [1] makes it possible to use proton(-ge) directly. UMU is already included in Lutris, Bottles & Co., or you can use it standalone [1].

          I have an old Win95 game that isn’t working very well but that doesn’t run on modern windows either

        I have tried many different fitgirl repacks through bottles. Currently playing Alan Wake 2 without issues.
