    I personally use bottles via flatpak and flatseal to make the games not connect to the internet when it’s not needed just in case.

    If you want native linux games, there are sites for that.

    Install the full Visual Studio runtime and try some different settings with winecfg. People recommend Lutris but for me it never made a difference

      Can I ask: How? What do you do to install that, and don’t you mean c++ runtime? Also I’ve never tinkered with winecfg, I fear that I might break things. What are some settings that are worth looking at?

      I’m asking caz I’m going crazy trying to play games on linux, if I buy them on steam it should just reportedly work, but non-steam games or cracked ones, I either have a very hard time starting, or it works, but just barely.

    I’ve installed a few through Litrus and they have just worked. This was on SteamDeck and Ubuntu desktop

        That works 99% of the time. I’ve run across a couple that refuse to extract, so I had to run them in a VM and copy the files over.
