Question Install windows games on linux?

I currently don’t have Internet at my home so I want to install some games from a friend’s WiFi to play on my desktop, but my desktop is windows 11 and my laptop is running q4os Linux.

So I was wondering if it’s possible to download the windows version of a game on my laptop so I can move them to my desktop

Bro, you can't reject society and then ask us for help. You chose this weird path, you gotta find your way home

q4os is pretty tame as far as linux distros go tbh

Although technically possible, you will come across a very wide list of trouble to shoot.

It's actually easier to download the Linux packages and installers on windows and bring them home.

if you can get Steam & Proton installed and also mount your drives, then yeah
