it is a shame some of my apps and games just dont work flawlessly with WINE.
If you're explicitly using WINE to open games in 2026, then you're doing it wrong. Launch the games through Steam and enable Proton in the compatibility settings.
That, or get a more lightweight launcher like Faugus, and select Proton (GE or Cachy flavors might work slightly better for some games)
i know, i've tried. some essential stuff breaks which keeps me from using it. for now i'll use the web version
Games should work in Steam with "Steam Play for all titles" enabled. What are the apps?
zalo (vietnamese messaging app), polytoria (not sure if that has a linux client)
ntlite but also a painless way to flash windows 10 usb that does NOT INVOLVE WOEUSB-NG CLI
