Grandia2, Sims3 and Cesar3 on Linux? (lemmy.world)

My wife has a windows 10 laptop that works very well (hardware). However it seems that it won't support win11. Rather than trying to tinker and make it install Win11 without the TPM support, etc., I want to install Linux Mint.

There are three games she adores and wants them to work if I installed Linux:

  1. Grandia 2 installed via Steam. Will proton support it?
  2. Sims 3 installed via Steam. Willnproton support this as well?
  3. Cesar 3 (which runs in a Win7 VM in windows setup by her tech savy friend). She has those files and the exe files etc. Can that be run on Linux? I'm reading about DOSBox, but not sure if that is the right tool.

I can rip out windows and go full Linux on her machine if there is support for running these three games. Any chance for me on this?

Didn't know about ProtonDB, thanks.
