@sterophonick I set up a windows vista vm in oracle virtual box and install steam on that. Unfortunately you'll need to run oracle virtual box in wine, of course.

Why are you installing it that way?! Flatpak or native to your distro's distribution streams would be way way easier. Basically one touch solutions.

@sterophonick not that far off from what crossover does for arm macos gaming, which is to emulate wine on x86 using rosetta, and install steam and games from there. somehow, it works well

@sterophonick

They have a linux installer, then you can install windows programs through steam, windows programs will use proton. If you want, you could use bottles, or lutris to install windows programs and games, you install things to a wine prefix using this, it can use wine or proton. Proton runs windows apps and games better than on windows, you can look up the stats. Steam uses proton by default on linux for windows games.

Proton is the way these days, it's based off of wine.

@sterophonick if you use the native steam linux client and enable proton you can automatically manage a pretty good wine environment to install steam in by clicking "add a non-steam game"
