Given I’m actively avoiding modern multiplayer games for more reasons than just the fact that they pretty much all have rootkit DRM (I know kernel-level anticheats have a different target than traditional DRM, but they’re functionally DRM so they count as DRM to me), and one of the few games I have left which were unplayably broken on Proton work now (Civ3, still has audio issues that to my knowledge can’t be corrected for non-destructively, but the black-map issue is now fixed, at least on my end using proton-cachyos), I have no plans on running Windows again any time soon, not even in a VM.
There’s a flatpak called Bottles that does a pretty decent job of setting up a containerized Windows /WINE environment, if you have some program or game you can’t get to work quite right by chucking it into Lutris or Steam.

Copilot BS made me agree with you. I’m gonna stop dual booting and just game on Linux
Bottles.

But I can’t be bothered to play windows games
I mostly use it for dev tools that only barely technically support linux, or just don’t at all.
That and uh… lets call them homebrew game decompression executables.
… yeah… yep.
