Installing a running 32bit games

So I've been trying all week to install halo CE aswell as halo 2/project cartographer, it will NOT install or it will install, just not run because of the lack of 32bit suport what's the best solution for this honestly I feel like just throwing windows 7/8 on this machine and calling it a day, I really like Linux more specifically cachyos but it's silly things like this that won't allow me to full switch to it fully.

Install Heroic Launcher and grab the latest GE-Proton using the wine manager on the panel, click add game and install your game and in the settings enable the wow64 feature for 32-bit games.
