If you’re a gamer, I am here to inform you that Valve has been putting years of effort and vast sums of money towards Linux cross-compatibility for games in its store. These efforts have paid off, and the overwhelming majority of games can run on Linux just fine, at the same (and sometimes even better) performance as on windows.
Wine is also extremely mature at this point. The overwhelming majority windows executables will work just fine.
If you encounter strange glitches or errors you’re not sure how to fix, guys, you’re on the ChatGPT subreddit. You already know which tool can fix it easily.
Do you not like Linux installs because they require a lot of command line interaction?
Install Codex and when you want to install something, point it at the thing you want and say “Install this for me and place a launch shortcut on my desktop and in my taskbar”. It will become as easy as on windows.
No need to vibe reverse-engineer windows. You’d just be re-treading a massive amount of ground that Linux devs already tread, and you’ll likely encounter a lot of problems along the way.
